Designation as "health service provider."
(1)Before granting a license to practice psychology and to use the title "licensed
psychologist" the board shall require the applicant to pass an examination in
psychology and to fulfill all requirements for supervised experience.
(2)The applicant shall:
(a)Pay a fee not to exceed three hundred dollars ($300);
(b)Have received a doctoral degree in psychology that is acceptable to the board
from a regionally accredited educational institution; provided, however, the
board may grant a license to an individual otherwise qualified under this

the board from an educational institution outside the United States, if the
educational institution would otherwise be accredited by a regional
accrediting body if located in the United States;
(c)Have passed the national EPPP examination at the doctoral level; and
(d)Have had at least two
(2)years of supervised professional experience
satisfactory to the board, one
(1)year of which shall be an internship.
(3)Upon acceptance of the application to sit for the examination in psychology, the
applicant may practice psychology under the supervision of a licensed psychologist
under conditions of supervision and temporary licensure established by the board.
The board shall establish a grace period not to exceed one hundred eighty
days to allow for the employment and supervision of the applicant by an agency
from the time the applicant's degree requirements are completed to the submission
of the complete application. During this period of supervision, the applicant for
licensure may not supervise certified psychologists, licensed psychological
associates, other applicants for licensure, or temporarily licensed persons, nor shall
he engage in an independent practice, except under the employment of his
supervising psychologist. Upon certification to the board of completion of the two
(2)years of supervision satisfactory to the board, the applicant shall be examined on
psychological practice, ethical principles, and the law.
(4)The board shall grade and keep the examinations and results on file for one
(1)year.
Upon written request to the board, an applicant may arrange to discuss his or her
performance on the examination.
(5)Upon successful completion of the examination process, the board shall issue a
license to practice psychology and the applicant may use the title "licensed
psychologist."
(6)Licensed psychologists may function independently without supervision. Licensed
psychologists who have the designation "health service provider" may retain that
designation and may employ and supervise certified psychologists and licensed
psychological associates. Licensed psychologists who have the designation "health
service provider" may supervise no more than a total of six
(6)certified
psychologists, licensed psychological associates, or applicants for licensure at one
(1)time.
(7)The designation "health service provider" shall be made on the license of those licensed psychologists who have completed one
(1)additional year of supervised experience satisfactory to the board in health care service delivery. This year of supervised experience shall be in addition to the supervised experience requirement for licensure as a licensed psychologist. Health service providers may provide supervision of direct health care services by applicants for licensure, certified psychologists, and licensed psychological associates. Health service providers may supervise no more than a total of six
(6)certified psychologists, licensed psychological associates, or applicants for licensure at one
(1)time.
