Supervision

Supervision In Oregon

What is supervision?

Supervision is a statutory requirement for the Clinical Social Work Associate (CSWA). And is

a team effort between the Oregon Board of Licensed Social Workers, a licensed clinical social

worker (LCSW) who acts as the supervisor, and the clinical social work associate (CSWA). 

The main goal of supervision is to help the associate learn about the laws and rules that govern

social work in Oregon and gain experience in the social work field.

CSWA

The CSWA is the first step to a clinical license in Oregon. Whether you are right out of school with a fresh Masters Degree, or you have started your process in another state, the CSWA is your path to licensure. If you have already obtained 3500 hours of supervised clinical experience, 2000 hours of direct client hours, 100 hours of supervision (at least 50 in individual supervision) and have been supervised for no less than 24 months, you may qualify for the LCSW. If you have met the hours and time requirements, but have not yet taken the clinical exam, you may qualify for the LCSW Candidate. The LCSW Candidate is not a license to practice, until the exam is passed and the LCSW is issued.
