As a licensed psychologist in the state of Wyoming, it is your responsibility to adhere to continuing education requirements every period in order to renew your license. Beyond license renewal being key to you maintaining your practice, continuing education is essential to stay abreast of what is happening in psychology – something your clients will always appreciate you taking seriously. Education is how we all continue to learn and further hone our skills and expertise, so it’s certainly something to be celebrated. Though education is fantastic, keeping on track with the many hours you need to fulfill can be a challenge. Thankfully, there is a fantastic resource available to help you with that. Before we dive into the resource, let’s start by outlining what is required of Wyoming psychologist in order to renew their license each cycle.
Licensee Requirements for Wyoming Psychologists
Wyoming psychologists are required to earn 30 hours of continuing education every two years, ahead of their license expiration. All 30 hours should come from sponsors that are approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) or National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), though up to ten may be earned via approved home study. Licensees are also permitted to obtain their credit through approved activities through either Wyoming Psychology Association (WPA) or Wyoming School Psychology Association (WSPA), which usually includes activities like workshops, trainings, retreats, etc.
Note: though continuing education is required within two-year cycles, psychologists are required to renew their license every year by June 30. It is the licensee’s responsibility to keep track of a typical renewal application versus one that also requires continuing education be part of it.
Key Takeaways:
- Psychologists in Wyoming must complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years
- Licensees must renew every year, but continuing education does not need to be part of all applications
Given psychologists are likely to achieve their continuing education certificates in increments, from various workshops, conventions, agencies, and institutions, there is a lot of documentation to keep track of (potentially 30 or more certificates throughout the course of two years).
