Question 25 • LHS-Psychology (1 cr.)

Which of the following statements is not true about licensure in psychology?

Answer
A
Licensing requirements for psychologists in the United States vary by state.
B
A standardized test is administered by most state licensing boards.
C
Psychologists must be licensed or certified to offer any type of patient care.
D
Proof of clinical work is required to renew one’s license in all 50 states.

Explanation

Licensing rules vary by state, and most state boards require the standardized Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology. Renewal requirements are not identical nationwide, and states generally require continuing education rather than proof of clinical work in every case. Therefore, the statement that all 50 states require proof of clinical work to renew a license is not true; the best answer is D.
