I was recently granted courtesy registration, and I was also informed earlier today that, following review of my application by the board on Jan 15th, I have been approved for a transfer interview, scheduled for May 14th. I have a standing job offer, and I would like to begin to see patients in the near future.

I’m hesitant to take on a caseload at this time, as I will likely “run out” of clinical days permitted under courtesy registration before achieving full registration , even if I extend from the initial 21 day to 40 days. I do not want to prematurely discontinue with my patients after establishing care. Please let me know if it is possible to extend the courtesy registration beyond the 40 day period.

It would be fine to extend courtesy registration to accommodate in the circumstances and for reasons related to continuity of care that may be required for clients. If we go beyond 21 days then there would be the standard charge of $200, and we would need to assess for more fees. However, at this time, it would be best to ask her to keep track of the actual hours of practice as they unfold, given the free version even includes 157.5 hours. If she needs to extend the time at a later date then she can simply contact the office and we can determine if standard of $200 is going to cover it (or at most, the fee would be the pro-rated annual fee applicable calculated at the time when she actually determines that she will requires the extension).
