Complimentary from the Center
Written for the person nobody told about this job.
- The role
- What does a care manager do, and where does the work happen?
- The licensure path
- Degree, limited license, supervised experience: what counts?
- Supervision
- Who can supervise, how do you find one, what does it cost?
- Finding the work
- Where are these roles, and what should you ask an employer?
- The work itself
- Patient follow-up, brief interventions, measurement, coordination.
- Source notes
- Where did this come from?
No form between you and the guide. It is yours either way.
The Career Path Guide is complete on its own. It answers one bounded question: what this role is and how it relates to your licensure path. It is not a sample of something else.
Job matching, supervisor finding and individualized eligibility are a marketplace problem, not missing pages here. Public guidance can explain a rule. Your state, licenses, payers, contracts and staffing decide what applies to you. Kedge Marketplace is the separate platform for that individualized work.
Nobody hands you a map of the years after graduation. The guide describes one role you may not have heard of: a salaried position on a medical team, working with patients between visits, tracking whether treatment is helping, and coordinating with a psychiatric specialist. It says plainly what the role is, what it is not, and what remains unresolved about it.
Figure 01
The distance is the subject.
The license record shows both ends of this line. It explains nothing about the middle.
- Work ?
- Where are trainees actually finding clinical work?
- Pay ?
- What does that work pay while the hours accumulate?
- Supervision ?
- Who is supervising, and how hard was it to find them?
- Placement ?
- How many settings did it take to land one that counts?
- Time ?
- How long does the stretch really last?
A possible path?
Could integrated-care work help someone earn a living while moving toward full licensure?
Whether qualifying care manager hours count toward Michigan’s supervised-experience requirements remains an open question Michigan should answer. This guide does not pretend the answer is settled.
Where the advocacy lives
A clear answer would help thousands of people plan their lives.
Whether a role counts toward licensure changes whether someone can take it. Right now that is not settled, which means people are making career decisions without knowing what the years will buy them.
The Center’s job is to describe the question accurately and gather evidence about it. The policy work to seek a clear answer belongs with the Integral Neuroscience Initiative.
The exchange · about five minutes
Five minutes, if the guide earned them.
The people in the middle of this stretch are the only ones who can describe it. Five minutes on where you found work, what it pays, how the supervision came together, and what nearly stopped you fills in a part of the workforce nobody has documented.
Findings go to respondents first, and this cohort gets them before any policymaker does.

The survey
The study is not collecting responses yet.
When it opens, the invitation you received will return you to this page. The guide above is complete and yours to use now.
At the end, three permissions are asked separately: whether we may follow up, whether we may quote you anonymously, and whether you want the findings. None is required. You will see any proposed quote before we use it.
