Board Staff CANNOT:

Please see the Doctoral Programs FAQ for assistance in comparing your doctoral program and supervised professional experience(s) with Arizona's requirements.
- Answer question(s) relative to a statute or rule and how it applies to you. This constitutes a request for legal advice or interpretation of statutes. Please consult an Arizona attorney familiar with regulatory law for an answer to your questions.
- Mentor applicants through the application process. Please contact a colleague, your supervisor, or possibly an association dedicated to support of the psychology profession in Arizona such as the Arizona Psychological Association (AzPA) or the Southern Arizona Psychological Association (SAPA).
