The NCARB Podcast, hosted by Andy McIntyre, Vice President at NCARB, brings together architects, educators, regulators, researchers, and industry leaders to unpack the systems behind licensure—and how those systems are evolving to better serve candidates, the profession, and the public. Season 1 explores Pathways to Practice, NCARB’s multi-year initiative to reimagine the path to architectural licensure. Across the season, Andy and his guests examine how licensure evolved, where today’s process creates barriers, and how a more flexible, competency-based model could expand access while maintaining the rigor needed to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T16:20:28.886756+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ncarb-7868300"},"episode":{"title":"Licensure Reimagined","slug":"licensure-reimagined","published_at":"2026-07-01T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ncarb-7868300/licensure-reimagined","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ncarb-7868300","url":"https://gablmedia.com/licensure-reimagined","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/c7f5e0f4-3bb2-42e7-8796-6898ad7f6bc1.mp3","summary":"With the Competency Standard in place, what could the future licensure model actually look like? This episode explores how NCARB is moving from big ideas to practical implementation. Andy speaks with Julie Hildebrand , former Chair of NCARB’s Licensure Process Research and Development Task Force, about the early research behind Pathways to Practice. Julie shares how the task force explored licensure models from other professions and countries, tested ideas, and balanced innovation with regulatory responsibility. Then, Greg Wynn , current Chair of the Research and Development Task Force, explains how the work is shifting toward assessment criteria, feasibility, and multiple equivalent ways for candidates to demonstrate competency.
