licensure

I've searched the forum but couldn't find an answer to this question. I also reached out to the appropriate state board but haven't heard back yet. I'm a psychologist licensed in one state (A); a client is moving to another state (B). The client has requested "bridge" sessions - i.e...

Hi all, How would someone who trained as a Clinical Psychologist in the UK obtain the supervised professional experience required for licensure? I am originally from California and the state board does not accept foreign-earned supervised professional experience. Am I correct in thinking I...

Hello, everyone, I am an international dentist who completed BDS. I matched for 1 year AEGD residency program and just wondering what would be the next steps to practice in the USA as a general dentist? When can I give my board exams? Can I practice just after completing AEGD residency program...

Hello, I passed the practical portion of the WREB this past November, so I am selling all of my leftover WREB exam supplies. I was a nontraditional candidate without school resources, which is why I bought so much and have so much extra! Almost everything was purchased at Acadental or Stevenson...

Hi all! I am currently on internship and there is a chance that my husband's job is going to relocate him/us to another country next year. Looking at that country's process for psychologists who have been trained elsewhere, it will be easier for me to transfer a license than to simply transfer...

I'm currently studying for the NJ MPJE. So far I've used RxPrep MPJE, MPJEMADEEASY.com and the documents from the NJ BOP website. What else do you guys suggest I can use to study or can do to study to help ensure I pass this exam 1st time? How many questions do you think you would need to get in...

Let's say that I complete a research postdoc abroad and become licensed abroad (e.g., NZ, AU, UK, IT) after completing a doctoral program and APA accredited internship in the US. Would I be able to come back to the US and apply for licensure without having completed a 1-2 year postdoc as is...

Hi everyone, I am studying for the Ohio jurisprudence exam (I take it on July 18th). I have been told to essentially "memorize" the entire manual they provide (39 pages). Has anyone taken the test recently who can speak about the difficulty of the questions? Or, the types of questions they might...

Hi all, I'm about to start my GPR residency on July 1st in NYC. I like to plan things out mentally ahead of time, so I wanted to know exactly how the process works around this time next year in terms of applying for jobs/receiving licensure. From what I've read, it seems that many people...

Hi, I currently live in a state (Utah) that doesn't require postdoc, and I am eligible for licensure. However, I want to be license eligible in other states that do require postdoc hours. I am wondering though, if I obtain licensure in Utah, can I still do a post-doc to obtain hours that can go...

Hi all, I’m currently completing a PGY-1 residency out of state but decided I would like to return to my home state of California after finishing in July. (Went to pharmacy school in another, different state). Do I have to be licensed for a year in order to license transfer? I missed the...

I want to apply for residency programs in New York, but as you know they require a third exam (in addition to MPJE and NAPLEX), that is compounding. That exam can only be taken in June and January (weirdly). I graduate end of june, and should be licensed by September 1 in New York. In order to...

Hi, I’m an American and an American trained dentist. I am hoping to establish some professional relationships abroad, particularly in a New Zealand. I am interested in international service and possibly practicing in New Zealand down the road. I was wondering if there are any New Zealanders that...

(Before you keep reading, this pertains only to getting licensed in California.) Hi everyone, so I think we can all agree that the licensure process is incredibly confusing and the CA Board of Psychology sucks at communication. I recently passed the EPPP (woo!) and have no clue whether I can...

A bit of backstory: I went on the academic job market last year and arranged to take a position as an assistant professor wherein I'd teach grad/undergrad classes, supervise students, and essentially get enough clinical hours through these experiences to be licensed within 1.5 to 2 years. I've...

So this might be a dumb question - I just took the Boards on July 24th and found out that I passed on Tuesday evening. Do I have to submit my score or paperwork to Illinois? Or does the fee and paperwork that I submitted to be accepted prior to taking the Boards cover that? I'm not sure if there...

I will be seeking licensure as a psychologist in Texas, but I am expecting I could move anywhere in the country in the future (partner is in academia). To become licensed in different states (after having less than 5 years licensed in Texas), should I exclusively look at APA-accredited post-doc...

I have been working in New Jersey as a pharmacy intern. I am looking to apply to some residencies in Pennsylvania but I know PA requires 500 intern hours outside of rotations for licensure. On the PA BOP page, the "Intern Experience Reporting Form" states that intern hours must be earned in PA...

Can anyone point me in the direction of finding information about multiple state licensure? Like if you live between bordering states and may potentially work in both states. Don't some states have contracts for those type of situations? Thanks in advance for any info!!

The last post I can find about this is inactive since 2013, so wanted to ask people who are licensed in California or trying to get licensed in Cali more recently, about the substance abuse course requirement. I have education in substance abuse, but it was either part of a larger course or...

Hey guys, I'm a rising 3rd year at Pitt, but am from California, and am hoping CA gets organized with the CDCA exams by the time I could be taking them. Can anyone shed some light on this? Officially it's been said that 2017 is the "Expected Acceptance" year for the CDCA in CA. But I've also...

I am sitting on a big decision here and would love some help :) I am a dual citizen (US/Canada) working as a school counselor in Canada. I was recently admitted to a CPA accredited PsyD program, but may want to work in the US one day (perhaps NY, CA, FL, MA). I have my MA from a non-CACREP...

Hi, I just graduated from a four year pharmacy program in another country, and my goal is to become a licensed pharmacist in the U.S.. I was planning on taking the FPGEE exam, but a site says I'm not qualified to take it since I graduated after 2003. So I think the only option for me right now...

Hello, I had a question regarding the GA Wet Lab Errors and Omissions. I am having a hard time differentiating between option C (problem with label) and option E (inappropriate substitution). For example, if an MD wrote for hydroxyzine pamoate, but the pharmacist/technician accidentally choose...

Greetings! I have a question for VA folks. I received an informal offer yesterday while interviewing at VA hospital (yay!). The chief stated that he'd really like me to take the EPPP "within a month" (such that I am fully licensed by projected start date of September 2017) because he doesn't...

Can anyone comment on their experience getting licensed with a ten-month postdoc? I don't know where I'll end up living and I'm worried some states might require postdoc hours to be acquired over at least 12 months. I'd like to clarify before I apply. Thanks!
