North Dakota licenses Psychologists through the North Dakota State Board of Psychologist Examiners. 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 North Dakota State Board of Psychologist Examiners.
Doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) in psychology from an APA- or CPA-approved program. Verify program-approval and coursework requirements with the Board.
Pass the EPPP (ASPPB) at the doctoral cutoff (reportedly a scaled score of 500) following Board approval to sit; confirm any state jurisprudence/ethics exam requirement with the Board.
Reportedly at least 1,500 hours of supervised predoctoral internship experience plus 1,500 hours of postdoctoral supervised experience. Verify exact hour and supervision 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.
North Dakota has reportedly enacted PSYPACT and is listed as a participating/effective member, enabling interjurisdictional telepsychology and temporary in-person practice. Confirm current status against psypact.org and verify with the North Dakota State Board of Psychologist Examiners.
North Dakota 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 North Dakota State Board of Psychologist Examiners.
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 North Dakota State Board of Psychologist Examiners.
