Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The Examining Board of Psychology will consider a petition made by the Washington State Psychological Association that would make minor housekeeping changes to the existing continuing education rules, add a provision that would allow continuing education credit to be granted for psychologists teaching a continuing education course. The board may also consider subjects required and providers approved to offer continuing education.
Process for Developing New Rule: Collaborative rule making, the program will work closely with the public in developing rules. Input will be requested from individuals, and from licensees and other interested individuals. The proposed language from the Washington Psychological Association will be shared for on-going direction from interested persons.
