Hi!
I recently finished my Doctoral Degree in Psychology from a UK university. During my Doctoral years, I moved to California and now need to obtain licensure in California.
The Board is obviously slow in replying to me emails and voicemessages at the moment so thought to check-in with people here who may have been in a similar situation as me. The BOP website says that I will have to have my degree evaluated by an Evaluation Service, but there is no other information about the address to send it to; instructions (does my uni need to send it directly to the BOP; do they need to sign the seal?). Obviously my supervisors were not APA-registered but there were registered with the regulating bodies in the UK: BPS and HCPC.
Has anybody else here gone through this process? Did the supervision hours completed in the UK count when you applied in California/the US? Did you have to re-do any aspect of the doctoral program to gain licensure in California/the US?
I was looking forward to just prepping for the EPPP but it seems as though the exam is the last component after all the supervised practice!
