California is continuing to work on switching from the California clinical MFT exam to the Association of Marital and Family Therapy Regulatory Boards (AMFTRB) exam. The AMFTRB exam is what is currently required in the other 49 states. This change will make it easier for LMFTs who are educated in California to move to or pursue licensure in another state without having to take an additional exam.
