In regards to the Psychological Practice Profile Form for Candidate Registernapplicants, I’m wondering whether the Research category includes researchnassistant work. Thank-you,

Not for the psychological practice profile. NSRP would expect applicants to have an applied area of practice based on their program of study, e.g, school, counselling, clinical, neuropsych. Usually, formal research would only need be declared if it was required by the psychology employment position and part of the applied area of practice in one of the practice areas mentioned. The NSRP has not typically seen the work of research assistant to be credited towards candidate registration (in terms of the required period of supervised practice). Typically, if one applied and was working as a research assistant, then the message from NSRP would be that credit for supervised practice would not begin to accrue until they begin a psychology position in the applied area of practice, in the one of the practice areas mentioned.
