Section 858-010-0056 - Temporary Practice Authorization

(1) The Board may grant a temporary practice authorization to the spouse of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is stationed in Oregon as follows:

(a) Temporary Psychologist Authorization may be issued to applicants that possess a current, active license to practice psychology in good standing in another state based on a doctoral degree in psychology.

(b) Temporary Psychologist Associate Authorization may be issued to applicants that possess a current, active license to perform functions within the practice of psychology in good standing in another state based on a master's degree in psychology. If the applicant is authorized to practice only under supervision in the other state, then the applicant must comply with the continued supervision requirements of OAR 858-010-0038.

(c) To qualify for Temporary Practice Authorization, an applicant must be in good standing, with no restrictions or limitations upon, actions taken against, or investigation or disciplinary action pending against his or her license in any jurisdiction where the applicant is or has been licensed.

(2) A Temporary Practice Authorization issued by the Board is not renewable, and is only valid until the earliest of the following:

(a) Two years after the date of issuance;

(b) The date the spouse of the person to whom the temporary practice authorization was issued completes the spouse's term of service in Oregon; or

(c) A copy of the assignment to a duty station located in Oregon by official active duty military order for the spouse named in the marriage certificate; and

(d) The temporary practice authorization fee. This fee is not refundable except in extraordinary circumstances. An applicant's failure to qualify for temporary practice authorization does not suffice for a refund.

(a) Contact information;

(b) Character and fitness information, including complaints, disciplinary actions, employment investigations that lead to termination or resignation, and civil, criminal, or ethical charges;
