Proposed Changes to Registration Requirements
On December 12, 2025, CPBAO’s Board approved the following changes.
- Registration as a psychologist based on a graduate degree from Council-approved programs, including accreditation by College-approved accrediting bodies
- Council approval of accrediting bodies internationally, beyond the United States
- The removal of the minimum four-year work experience requirement for candidates with a Master’s degree, replacing it with a one-year minimum
These proposed changes were submitted to the Ministry of Health for consideration, and we are awaiting a decision. We will continue to share updates as they become available.
