The fine print most trackers miss
Maryland-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LCSW associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Maryland's clinical social work license is the LCSW-C, not the LCSW, which is a separate advanced license
- Must hold an active LMSW and complete 12 clinical coursework credits
- Experience must be obtained under a written contract with a Board-approved LCSW-C supervisor in Maryland
Built for Maryland
How ClearPath handles Maryland LCSW
- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,000-hour total, the 1,500-hour direct-client minimum, and the supervision ratios at the time you log it.
- Auto-filled official form. When you're ready to apply, ClearPath fills the official form of the Board of Social Work Examiners from your records. It is the same PDF the board accepts, not a reproduction.
- Supervisor portal. Your supervisor logs in, reviews your weekly entries, and e-signs without printing. No paper PDFs, no scanning.
- AI hour reviewer. Ask plain-language questions about your log ("what week did I miss a supervision hour?") and get the exact answer in seconds.
- $25/year. One quarter the price of the legacy tracker.
