I believe this is an issue that is a long time overdue to being addressed.

There should be similar standards for medical social workers to obtain their clinical hours.

I support the measure. This is definitely discrimination against our profession due to the lack of understanding of what our roles are in the organization. It is pertinent to increase our knowledge base and growth for the betterment of services to our patient population. This growth and knowledge is gained through support and education received in supervision.

This is an absurd discrepancy between clinicians working across different finance based work settings with the exact same education and training within the same profession! This is flat out discrimination AGAINST medical social workers that is Wrong and needs to be CORRECTED! Shameful.

Supervision is so important for everyone including not only the social worker but the patients and agency

What a crazy rule that the hours should be different based on the setting. The job is the same and the needs are increasing - this policy should be changed,

The licensing requirements for medical social workers in for-profit settings should be the same as those for non-profit settings.

This is not a fair policy and it should be changed.
