What Qualifications does a Licensed Psychologist Associate have?
Licensed psychologist associates (PAs) complete a master’s degree in psychology. Prior to licensure, PAs must complete a one year supervised internship focused on the application of psychological skills and knowledge. The internship usually occurs while the individual is completing his or her master’s degree. PA’s must also complete three years of supervised work experience with a licensed psychologist. PAs must also pass a national written examination and pass an Oregon jurisprudence examination. PAs are required to complete 50 hours of continuing education every two years.
