Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 28, July 11, 2024
(a) Each
					individual who wishes to be licensed as a psychologist based on reciprocity, as
					provided by
					K.S.A.
					74-5315 and amendments thereto, shall submit
					an application for licensure in accordance with the provisions of this
					regulation.
(b) Each applicant for
					licensure as a psychologist shall request the application forms for licensure
					by reciprocity from the board. Each applicant shall ensure that the application
					materials are submitted to the board as follows:
(1) The applicant shall submit the completed
					application form and shall submit payment in full of the application for a
					license fee, as provided in K.A.R. 102-1-13.
(2) The applicant shall forward to the
					licensing agency for the jurisdiction in which the applicant is currently
					licensed, certified, or registered as a psychologist at the doctoral level a
					form provided by the board on which the licensing agency is to provide the
					following documentation:
(A) Verification
					that the applicant currently holds a valid license, registration, or
					certification to practice psychology at the doctoral level that has been issued
					by the licensing agency;
(B) the
					date on which the applicant was initially licensed, registered, or certified by
					the licensing agency as a psychologist at the doctoral level and a complete
					history of each subsequent renewal, reinstatement, and lapse in licensure,
					registration, or certification. If an applicant is seeking licensure based on
					reciprocity under the provisions of paragraph (a)(2) of
					K.S.A.
					74-5315 and amendments thereto, the applicant
					shall ensure that documentation covering the five continuous years of
					licensure, registration, or certification as a psychologist at the doctoral
					level that immediately precede the date of the application is submitted to the
					board by the licensing agency for each jurisdiction in which the applicant was
					licensed, registered, or certified during that five-year period;
(C) a complete history of any disciplinary
					action of a serious nature brought by the licensing agency against the
					applicant. For purposes of this regulation, "disciplinary action of a serious
					nature" means the revocation or suspension of a license, registration, or
					certification issued by the licensing board or the voluntary surrender of a
					license, registration, or certification in lieu of the completion of an
					investigation or final disciplinary action; and
(D) either verification that the standards in
					that jurisdiction for licensure, certification, or registration as a
					psychologist at the doctoral level are substantially equivalent to the
					standards in Kansas or verification that the applicant has earned a doctoral
					degree in psychology, the date on which the applicant earned the degree, and
					the name of the university or college granting the degree.
The completed form shall be returned to the board by the
						licensing agency and shall not be forwarded to the applicant.
(3) If the applicant is seeking
					licensure based on reciprocity under the provisions of paragraph (a)(2) of
					K.S.A.
					74-5315, and amendments thereto, rather than
					on the basis that the standards for licensure, registration, or certification
					are substantially equivalent to the standards in Kansas for licensure as a
					psychologist at the doctoral level, the applicant shall ensure that following
					additional documentation is submitted:
(A) An
					attestation by the applicant that the applicant engaged in the professional
					practice of psychology at the doctoral level an average of at least 15 hours
					per week for nine months during each of the five years immediately preceding
					the date of application for licensure based on reciprocity; and
(B) if the licensing agency does not provide
					verification that the applicant holds a doctoral degree in psychology, an
					original transcript sent directly from the university or college granting the
					degree that identifies all applicable graduate coursework and the date on which
					the applicant was granted a doctoral degree in psychology.
