State licensing laws

It’s important to understand them so you can practice legally.

When you consider the “state,” this is where your client is located at the time of session. Not necessarily what their mailing address is, and not where you live.

If you have a client that lives in a state that requires licensure you MUST meet with a Clinician’s Incubator supervisor who is also licensed or very familiar with that state for your 1:1 to review that client’s case.

It is okay to talk about any client with any supervisor in clinical rounds.

There are some states where CNSs or CNS-candidates cannot practice medical nutrition therapy. Starting April 30, you’ll be allowed to provide nutrition education in these states. Look forward to the publication of a Nutrition Education Library in Practice Better.
