REGULATING PSYCHOLOGISTS IN NOVA SCOTIA SINCE 1980

I am no longer practicing and will not be renewing my registration as a psychologist for the 2019 year. I understand that the NSBEP requires notice of retirement in writing, and I am asking that the NSBEP accept this email as my notice.I have contacted the Psychologist who is the custodian of my files however have not heard back from her as at this date.

I will contact insurance company to advise them of my retirement.

Is there anything else I am required to do?

Thank you for the written notice of your intention to retire.

The information you provided regarding your custodian of files is appreciated. The only item would be to let us know when it’s confirmed.

We wanted to mention that the option of Retired Registration for $100.00 is there, the other is to not renew and withdraw from the registry according to the Psychologist Act.
