Using PsyD after a name once graduated from a state-approved Ryokan?

However, what is virtually immutable is that just about every state will maintain firm professional and ethical conduct standards pertaining to misrepresentation of academic credentials to the public as well as the disciplinary actions that will be taken if one violates these standards.

 

That's true. However, the exact standards that apply in theory, and the degree to which they are actually enforced in practice, are variable.

They vary from state to state, from field to field, and from time to time.

So there are no easy generalizations here; it varies on a case-by-case basis. If you want to use an out-of-state degree in some other state, where it does not meet in-state standards, you really need to do your own homework on what the potential issues might be. You should probably consult with an attorney, the applicable licensing board, or your insurance carrier.

One possible approach in this situation might be to include a disclaimer when you list your out-of-state degree, to make others aware that it does not meet in-state standards. This approach is legally required in some situations, and it might possibly limit your liability even in situations where it is not required. But I am not an attorney, so this is merely speculative.

If you want a degree that "travels" across state lines without any hassles, then you should really look for a degree with accreditation that crosses state lines. That's the whole point of "regional" and "national" accreditation -- it is recognized regionally and nationally.

 

I'm also sorry because you are wrong. There is a very good reason(s) to pile up the archives. The first is that this is a question that gets asked (and answered) two or three times every year. An archive of links will give people a place to start. Also, if links are provided they will probably link back to the new law (if it has changed). In addition, I'd say that while all laws are "subject to change" these sorts of laws do not change often.

Websites such as ours exist for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is to create an archive of information. If this were not one of our goals then we could simply delete every message 30 days after it was posted. There have been so many instances where this has been helpful to people it's hard for me to understand why you would be against it.
