30 Miss. Code. R. 3201-9.1 - APPLICANTS LICENSED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS

The Board may, without a written or oral examination, issue a license to a psychologist licensed in another jurisdiction.

The applicant may be exempt from the EPPP requirements described in Chapter 5, Rule 5.1 and 5.2, the educational requirements described in Chapter 4 Rule 4.4, and the professional practice and ethics section of the oral exam as described in Chapter 5 Rules 5.7 and 5.8, if the psychologist meets the following criteria:

A. Is licensed or certified as a psychologist by another state, territorial possession of the United States, District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or Canadian Province and provides evidence that the requirements for the license or certification are the substantially equivalent of this chapter; or

B. Is a diplomat in good standing of the American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology (ABPP); or

C. Holds a valid Certificate of Professional Qualification (CPQ) by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards; and

D. Has completed the appropriate application and paid fees as required by the Board. However, such applicants must still pass the Mississippi jurisprudence exam as described in the Chapter 5 Rule 5.8 and meet with the exam committee of the Board to review and verify the applicant's character, current fitness, and plans to practice consistent with their education, training and experience. As a condition of licensure under this paragraph, applicants must agree to terms and condition set forth in the CPQ licensure application.
