Definition of Continuing Education for Psychologists

To meet the definition of continuing education for psychologists, CE programs must:

  • Be relevant to psychological practice, education and science
  • Enable psychologists to keep pace with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention, and education as well as important legal, statutory, or regulatory issues
  • Allow psychologists to maintain, develop, and increase competencies in order to improve services to the public and enhance contributions to the profession.

CE builds upon a completed doctoral degree in psychology. CE programs do not take the place of graduate level training and coursework.
