Utah licenses Psychologists through the Utah Psychologist Licensing Board (Division of Professional Licensing, DOPL). 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 Utah Psychologist Licensing Board (Division of Professional Licensing, DOPL).
Requires a doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) in psychology, reportedly from an APA-accredited program or board-approved equivalent. Verify exact accreditation and degree criteria with DOPL.
Requires passing the EPPP (ASPPB) and the Utah Psychologist Law and Ethics Examination. A scaled EPPP score of approximately 500 and a Utah exam score of approximately 75% are reported. Verify passing scores with DOPL.
Reportedly requires approximately 4,000 hours of supervised professional experience, with up to roughly 2,000 hours pre-doctoral and at least roughly 2,000 hours post-doctoral, generally completed within a limited period after the doctorate. Verify exact hour and supervision rules with DOPL.
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.
Utah has enacted PSYPACT and is listed as an effective member on psypact.gov, permitting authorized telepsychology and temporary practice across member states. Verify current status with DOPL and psypact.gov.
Utah 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 Utah Psychologist Licensing Board (Division of Professional Licensing, DOPL).
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 Utah Psychologist Licensing Board (Division of Professional Licensing, DOPL).
