Last I had heard was that he was now licensed and working at UT San Antonio Medical Center as a psychologist. I believe there was an army nurse stationed up at Carswell who completed her PsyD at one of the Argosy Campuses. There have been attoneys who have completed PsyD programs and worked as Forensic Psychologist or Police Psychologist where the law degree gives them an edge over traditional clinical psychologist working as Forensic Psychologist.
I've known of physician assistants or nurse practitioners who have completed a PsyD and become licensed as a psychologist and due to dual licensure and supervision by an MD they may prescribe psychotropic medications.

Wow that's interesting! That individual (and I don't blame you for not posting their name, however if you find him again, please let him know about this posting) would certainly be the type of person who I'd like to hear from... having had to battle the stigma of the online doctorate... which by the way attaches to ANY doctorate with the exception of technology related disciplines. Some points raised earlier by some others goes to this question: Where you say some officers and attorney have had their credentials bolstered by a PhD (even if it's online based) others say it would actually pull down their credentials. I think the best way to settle that is to find some who have lived it. So far everything else is speculation. (Except for the ones who have reviewed student work from these (I think she said Capella) and been unimpressed).
