REGULATING PSYCHOLOGISTS IN NOVA SCOTIA SINCE 1980
Category: Candidate

I am in the process of applying to become a candidate register and I have encountered a few questions that would be greatly appreciated if you could clarify:Is it necessary for me to include contact information for publication in the directory of psychologists? I am not comfortable providing my personal information or my work address. We don’t recommend personal information, only business contact information. However, one can choose not to provide information for this other than municipality.

Under the “history” tab it requests information re. present employment. I am wondering if the board contacts these individuals? My employer does not know I am submitting this application at present so I am not comfortable with this.

Typically the NSRP does not contact the employers. At their discretion the NSRP may contact those listed as references but not solely because an individual/organization has been listed as an employer,For the verification of practica/internship form your website states it needs to be filled out by an individual who is authorized to do so by the university. Would it be acceptable to have my internship supervisor do this? They were authorized to validate my hours and fill out evaluation forms for me.

YesnIf my application has been submitted, but not confirmed and accepted by the board can my referees still send documents e.g. reference forms to the board to be included in my file?Yes
