During difficult hiring times- being more restrictive is major concern.

QMHP guidance - retain info for clarity
 

While this revision is anticipated, given that Sociology degrees are not accepted if completed after 5/31/2021, please retain that historical information on the guidance document, with notation that if someone was approved as a QMHP-A or QMHP-C prior with a degree not on this list, their credential still stands, and the person is eligible for hire as a QMHP. Experience has demonstrated that when this historical information is not readily accessible, providers may not hire people who are qualified to do the work or expend time and resources researching this.
