Registered Intern Renewal Information
There are no continuing education renewal requirements for registered interns. If you have completed the minimum requirement of supervised experience as a registered intern but have not completed the requirements for licensure, please review the following rule.

An applicant who practices clinical social work, marriage and family therapy and/or mental health counseling must continue in "supervision" as defined in Rule 64B4-2.002, F.A.C., and use the term "registered clinical social work intern, registered marriage and family therapy intern, or registered mental health counseling intern" until he or she is in receipt of a license to practice the profession for which he or she has applied or a letter from the Department stating he or she is licensed, even if the two (2) year post-masters supervision requirement has been satisfied.
