I’m so fortunate to have my friend and colleague, Dr. Rebecca Richey, here to talk about her journey to becoming a prescribing psychologist. Many of us, myself included, have watched with interest as psychologists have been granted prescribing privileges in more and more states. Rebecca is nearing the end of the process and shares all of the ins and outs to obtaining prescription privileges. These are just a few topics that we cover:
- Definition of prescribing authority for psychologists
- Programs available to obtain prescription authority
- Logistics, cost, and format of the educational and practicum experience
- Thoughts on integrating prescribing privileges into an existing private practice
Cool Things Mentioned
- The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting
- Fairleigh-Dickinson Prescription Authority post-graduate Master’s program
