Webinar Description
The purpose of professional licensing is to ensure a minimum level of competency for practitioners in a given field in order to protect the public. Having a license to practice geology is a requirement in the majority of United States, Canada and several other countries. In contrast to other professions, a disconnect has developed between applied geologists and academia. Professional licensing requirements are a fact of life for applied geologists. Unfortunately, many faculty members have limited understanding of the licensing requirements that their students must deal with once they graduate.
This webinar will:
- Provide an overview of geology licensure qualification requirements in the United States
- Discuss the national licensing examinations for geologists prepared by the National Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG®)
- Learn how data from the ASBOG® Fundamentals of Geology (FG) examination can be used as a curriculum assessment and curriculum modification tool
Speakers: Laurie Racca, PG; Jack L. Warner, PhD; Randy Kath, PhD, PG
