Important Information Regarding Continuing Education for the 2021 Renewal Cycle
The Board of Psychologists determined at the February 11th, 2022 board meeting that due to the short notice regarding the effective date of the new Continuing Education (CE) rules, the board will not perform a CE audit for the 2020/2021 renewal cycle. This applies to all license types – Psychologists, Behavior Analysts, and Assistant Behavior Analysts. Although a CE audit will not be performed, the board acknowledges and recognizes that CE is an important part of continued competency and strongly encourages licensees to stay up to date with their CE. The audit will continue on the 2022/2023 CE cycle.
The Board of Psychologists makes every effort to include on this website all relevant information pertaining to the licensing and regulation of psychologists, behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts in Montana.

This may be especially true in light of legislative changes that allow certain licensees of other professions to hold themselves out as being qualified to engage in similar conduct. While licensed psychologists are not prohibited from providing the public any consumer notice that is accurate and appropriate, the following statement, when taken in its entirety, has been expressly approved by the Montana Board of Psychologists:
