49 Pa. Code § 41.26 - Professional corporations
(a) A
psychologist licensed by the Board may professionally incorporate with other
licensed psychologists or with licensed chiropractors, medical doctors, nurses,
optometrists, doctors of osteopathy, pharmacists, podiatrists, veterinarians,
dentists, engineers, nursing home administrators, physical therapists,
occupational therapists, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, teachers
of the hearing impaired and social workers, if the incorporation is also
authorized by Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 37, 39, 40, 42, 45
and 47.
(b) The articles of
incorporation and registry statement of the proposed corporation shall be filed
with the Board for review and approval prior to their submission to the
Corporation Bureau. The filer shall identify all parties with an ownership
interest in the business and all licensed or unlicensed professional
staff.
(c) The name of a
professional corporation must be approved by the Board prior to its use. Names
which contravene the ethical principles set out in §
41.61 (relating to Code of Ethics)
or which, when regarded in their entirety, are false, misleading or deceptive
will be disapproved. When applied to names which limit the practice to a
particular area of psychology-for example, neuropsychology, clinical psychology
or biofeedback-these standards of review require the filer to submit
documentation of training sufficient to establish the credentials in that area
of the relevant service providers.
(d) Psychologists who establish
multi-disciplinary practices with nonpsychologists shall ensure that
announcements of services to the public accurately represent the professions of
service providers.
