Colleagues:
 
As you may be aware, the Board recently approved a significant number of new Administrative Rules.  Those Rules went into effect September 27, 2011.  
 
Of particular note are the changes to the educational preparation requirements for licensure.  In addition, there are changes to Practicum, Internship and Post-Doc Residency expectations--both form and substance.
 
We have quickly begun to make changes (to the many application forms and other documents) and update the Board's website.  We are also working to help clarify the purpose and intent, as well as the application of the Rules in the day-to-day work of Residents and Licensees.  Finally, we are creating tools to help applicants understand the implication of these changes.
 
Finally, we will be sending out clarification notices via this list serve as we receive questions from you.  We are also preparing a special edition to the Board's newsletter explaining the numerous misconceptions about the education and training expectations around Applied Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists.
 
In the meantime, please feel free to ask questions.  We are here to help.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Debra McHugh
Executive Director

Subject: [OBPEeNews] OARs Clarification #1

Clarification Notice #1 -- Residency Supervision
In an effort not to disrupt established supervision relationships and arrangements, Post-Doc Residents who began contracts prior to September 27, 2011 are not subject to the new rule requiring a licensed psychologist to facilitate Group Supervision hours.  
Current Residents do not need to change all of their written materials to reflect the new title "Clinical Psychologist Resident."  New Residents with contracts approved after September 27, 2011, will need to use the new designation.
