Kansas licenses Psychologists through the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (KSBSRB). Licensure for independent practice generally requires a doctoral degree in psychology (PhD, PsyD, or EdD) from an accredited program, a period of supervised professional experience, and a passing score on the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). Verify current licensing, PSYPACT, supervised-experience, renewal, and continuing-education requirements directly with the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (KSBSRB).
Doctoral degree in psychology is required for the Licensed Psychologist (LP) credential. Verify exact accreditation and coursework requirements with the Board.
Passage of the EPPP (ASPPB), reportedly with a scaled passing score of 500, is required. Verify current exam requirements and any state jurisprudence component with the Board.
Reportedly approximately two years of supervised experience — roughly 1,800 hours of pre-doctoral internship plus approximately 1,800 hours of postdoctoral supervised experience, supervised by a psychologist licensed at least two years. Verify exact hour and timing requirements with the Board.
The state has enacted PSYPACT (the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact). Psychologists who hold an E.Passport or IPC can practice telepsychology into, and provide temporary in-person practice in, this state and other PSYPACT states without a separate full license. Some enacting states have an effective date before they begin participating.
Kansas has enacted PSYPACT and is listed as a participating/active member jurisdiction. Confirm current status against the official PSYPACT member list and verify with the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board.
Kansas has enacted PSYPACT. License portability may be available by endorsement/reciprocity, through ASPPB credentialing (e.g., the CPQ or Certificate of Professional Qualification), and — for cross-state telepsychology — through PSYPACT where the state participates. Verify endorsement eligibility and compact participation with the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (KSBSRB).
Telepsychology practice is governed by state law and board rules; in PSYPACT states, an E.Passport authorizes telepsychology into other PSYPACT states. Verify current telehealth requirements with the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (KSBSRB).
