I’m a postdoctoral fellow at Dalhousie University working under the supervision of Natalie Rosen, Ph.D., R. Psych. (copied).

I’m registered for autonomous practice in Ontario (6795) for clinical psychology with adults and forensic/correctional psychology with adults. I am preparing an application for NSBEP so I can conduct clinical work with couples as part of my research at Dalhousie University, under the supervision of Dr. Rosen.

I have reviewed the NSBEP website and understand that the registration committee meets monthly and that applications must be submitted 2 weeks in advance of the meeting. So, I will aim to submit for the May 14 meeting. I also read that the reply from the committee will occur 2 weeks after the meeting, which is great.

The main reason for my email is that I would like to extend my area of practice (clinical psychology) to include couples, under the supervision of Dr. Rosen (per Standard IV.1). Based on my review of the NSBEP Supervision Handbook and NSBEP Standards of Practice, candidate registrants must submit a Learning Plan that details acquisition of knowledge and acquisition of skills.

As a psychologist transferring from Ontario, do I need to submit a formal Learning Plan to extend my practice of clinical psychology to include couples? Or is there a different process for extending a practice area as a psychologist (vs. candidate registrant)?If a formal Learning Plan is required, can I submit the plan for consideration at the same meeting as my initial NSBEP application (i.e., May 14)?Any information you can provide about the path to extending my practice of clinical psychology to include couples is appreciated
