<u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Rule Caption</span></u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">: Modifies educational and exam requirements for licensure; clarifies criteria for complaint

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in"><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Rule Summary</span></u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">: Modifies the core and clinical coursework content
areas and adds a requirement for a minimum number of graded courses to the clinical psychology educational requirements for licensure as a psychologist for applicants who possess a doctoral degree from a regionally accredited, provincially chartered, or foreign
program. Also allows these and psychologist associate applicants to complete limited coursework outside of their degree-granting program if the applicant’s degree-granting program was deficient in required content areas. Allows certain psychologist applicants
previously licensed for at least 15 years to meet the EPPP (national) exam requirement if they previously passed the exam based on the original licensing board’s standards. Establishes when a candidate for licensure must retake the jurisprudence exam. Clarifies
the criteria used to reject a complaint filed with the Board.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
