In 1974, the National Register was created to identify psychologists who were qualified to provide health services to the public. Our mission has expanded significantly over the last 50 years, but we remain dedicated to our founding principles of excellence in credentialing, fostering clinical expertise, workforce development, supporting the next generation of psychologists, and educating consumers on the positive impact of psychologists in our healthcare system.
Since our founding in 1974, the National Register has been an innovative and trailblazing organization. We’ve promoted high standards in psychology regulation and credentialing, delivered exceptional benefits to members, and disseminated essential information to consumers. In our more recent history, we’ve evolved into a strong and inclusive community of psychologists and doctoral students—truly the professional home for health service psychologists.
