Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 9, September 1, 2024
(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

issued by another state expires.
