Practicing Under PSYPACT: Everything You Wanted to Know About PSYPACT
The Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) is an interstate compact designed to facilitate the practice of telepsychology and the temporary in-person face-to-face practice of psychology across state boundaries. Ms. Orwig will inform participants on the practice of telepsychology through PSYPACT, what a compact is, how PSYPACT came to be and what PSYPACT means for psychologists. Once completed, participants will have a better understanding of the ethical and practice-related issues of interstate compacts, what PSYPACT is, and how PSYPACT might be beneficial.
This webinar will feature an extended 30-minute Q&A session. Those who register for the webinar will have the option to submit questions while registering and during the session.
