Which group does the Professional Psychologists Practice Act not restrict regarding activities or titles related to their employment?

The Professional Psychologists Practice Act is designed to regulate the practice of psychology within the state, ensuring that individuals providing psychological services meet specific educational and ethical standards. However, the Act acknowledges certain groups that may be exempt from these restrictions due to their employment contexts.

Staff members of state-approved non-public schools, faculty of duly accredited universities or colleges, and staff of duly accredited hospitals are typically included in this acknowledgment. These groups are often training or working within an educational or clinical framework that aligns with their professional roles, allowing them to engage in activities related to psychology without needing the same licensure as independent practitioners.

Because their activities are related to their specific employment contexts, which are heavily regulated and overseen by their respective institutions, these groups can engage in certain practices or use specific titles without being subject to the same licensing requirements. This exemption is designed to facilitate the integration of psychological services within educational and healthcare settings, ensuring that individuals in these roles can effectively contribute to the welfare of their students or patients while still adhering to professional standards.
