One correction to the information listed, however – a social work masters will lead to LMSW and eventually LCSW licensure in most states. Here in Texas, the LCSW license seems to be more highly valued by employers, particularly hospitals, and reimbursement rates are typically set a bit higher. The coursework is different in that it emphasizes the strengths perspective rather than the medical model, the person in the environment, and focuses on disempowered and disenfranchised populations.
