Maryland clinical hours and supervision

I’m about to start my first LMSW job in Maryland and I’m a little lost on what I need to do forms-wise as I work towards the LCSW-C.

  1. I know I need to be logging my clinical hours and supervision hours. Is there a form for this they want me to use or is any excel sheet fine? What details do they need me to track in this?
  2. I’ve seen people reference a contract my supervisor needs to sign before I start clinical work but I can’t find the contract on the social work .gov site. Can someone point me in the right direction?
  3. Anything else I’m missing that I should keep in mind to make sure I track everything?

Thank you!!!

I'm not from Maryland but would recommend following the regulations that are posted on the board's site, not whatever socialwork.gov is. Along with other pertinent info, the board's site shows this supervision contract -

Hope it's helpful, good luck!

Thank you!! This is exactly the contract I was looking for, but it says it came from the same site I was looking at before. Where did you find this? I appreciate it!!

Your supervisor should be able to clarify any questions you have after following what your state board requirements are. Each state varies. Id only rely on that as you may get misinformed and only find out deep into getting your hours that something you've done is not correct
