After graduation, an MSW must engage in 3000 hours of ―clinical‖ practice including at least

the equivalent of 5 years full time clinical social work, or a psychologist or psychiatrist.

interpersonal and intra-psychic issues in direct contact with individuals, families or small groups.
Obtain from your field supervisor a letter on agency letterhead documenting your employment
and the hours related to direct contact service assessing and treating interpersonal and intra-
psychic issues. This will be especially important if you do not obtain all of your 3000 hours in
the same setting.
The 3000 hours may need to be extended as defined by the Social Work Section if one does not
complete a field placement while in the MSW program that fits the needed experience of
assessing and treating interpersonal and intra-psychic issues.
