While a specific profession may have agreed upon a national licensing exam (or accreditation), it is up to each state to decide whether it accepts the exam or not. For some professions, some states may use their own process, even when a “national” exam exists, or have additional educational expectations beyond passing the exam. The question to answer: If a graduate of my program, who can professionally practice in Ohio, moves to X state, can that person professionally practice immediately in that state? If the answer is no, a public disclosure is required.
