Ms. Darby responded for the Board, with the information about public records law. Two years of licensure are required to be a supervisor. The Board approved Dr. Timberlake's request because he has been licensed as a psychologist for more than two years in a jurisdiction with requirements substantially similar to Oregon's and has never been subject to discipline. The Board did not approve Dr. Taylor's request because she has been licensed less than two years anywhere. Dr. Starr also discussed the publication of disciplinary actions in the Board's newsletter.
Publication also allows other licensees to learn from the mistakes of their peers.
The Board agreed that Dr. Starr should work with Ms. Darby to pursue Oregon's eligibility to participate. The Board will further review the concept when Oregon's eligibility is established. The Board discussed the role of psychometricians and technicians in the administration of psychological testing, where a licensed psychologist bills for the work. The Board agreed that this would be the unlawful practice of psychology, unless the technician or psychometrician fell into a specific exemption.
