Minnesota licenses Psychologists through the Minnesota Board of Psychology. 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 Minnesota Board of Psychology.
Doctoral degree with a major in psychology from a regionally accredited institution (APA-accredited programs are generally deemed to meet the educational requirement). Verify the specific accreditation and coursework requirements with the Minnesota Board of Psychology.
Applicants must pass the EPPP (ASPPB) and the Minnesota Professional Responsibility Examination (PRE). Verify the current passing scores and exam requirements with the Minnesota Board of Psychology.
Reportedly at least 1,800 hours of supervised predoctoral internship plus at least one full year (about 1,800 hours) of postdoctoral supervised psychological employment. Verify the exact pre- and post-doctoral hour requirements with the Minnesota Board of Psychology.
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.
Minnesota is reported as a participating PSYPACT state, enabling cross-state telepsychology and temporary in-person practice via an ASPPB E.Passport and APIT. Verify the current compact status with the Minnesota Board of Psychology and psypact.gov.
Minnesota 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 Minnesota Board of Psychology.
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 Minnesota Board of Psychology.
