Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Where Do We Go From Here?
Q: So if anyone's listening to this and say, wow, that's a long time frame, that's a really long runway. Why is it so long, Jared?
Jared cites the need to get it right for candidates and boards alike, the importance of maintaining rigor to protect public health, and the step of vetting policy through multiple education, examination, and experience committees before adoption, all contributing to a multi-year timeline.
Where Do We Go From Here?
Q: Now, this is again, my prediction, so I'm also going to caveat it with this is my prediction. I think candidates are going to get to see a realistic, here's what it's gonna look like to you version in the 2028 time frame.
Jared explains that 2028 is a realistic timeframe for a preview and that full live implementation may occur in 2029, with possible earlier previews in 2027 if development accelerates, and that there will be an overlap with the current system to give candidates time to transition.
Licensure Reimagined
Q: What message would you give to candidates who might be impacted by the new system?
Greg acknowledges fears of change, reassures a transition plan will exist, and emphasizes that the goal is to preserve rigor while offering flexible, equitable pathways.
Licensure Reimagined
Q: What are the mechanisms that will be put in place to assess competency.
Greg explains the shift from broad research to concrete assessment criteria, with a plan to pass prototypes to program, education, experience, and exam committees for real-world testing.
Licensure Reimagined
Q: Julie, you're not an architect, am I right?
Julie confirms she has a legal background and has worked as the executive director for the Texas architecture board, focusing on enforcement and governance rather than architectural practice.
