Welcome VA Clinical Social Workers!
Here’s a new site for VA clinical social workers who want to further their careers through board certification and a community of clinicians sharing best practices and innovations. It’s a joint project of the organization that issues the BCD credential, the American Board, and its online colleague organization, ACSWA.
Why a new site for VA clinical social workers? Because you’re doing some of the most important work in the US, and board certification and a clinical community are huge career enhancers, both in money and prestige. The site’s independence guarantees that you can discuss whatever you want, whenever you want: from programs for pay increases to a clinical forum on best methods and innovations, this site is a community by and for VA clinical social workers only.
Here, you’ll find discussions, resources, and a partner for your professional career. Join ACSWA-VA and get fresh VA news and discussions every day, along with the ability to connect to your colleagues all across the country.
