These members have access to all National Register education and professional development products and partnership programs but do not bank credentials with the National Register and thus do not have access to licensure mobility or other verifications to healthcare organizations. Enroll now.

Attend live clinical webinars and access other continuing education courses, read our Journal of Health Service Psychology, and receive savings through our partner organizations.

What are the differences between the National Register Practice Academy and the Health Service Psychologist credential?

The Health Service Psychologist (HSP) credential, offered by the National Register since 1974, is a distinction for doctoral-level psychologists. Approval requires submission and evaluation of education and training credentials, a thorough background examination, and verification of an active, unrestricted psychology license. HSP credential holders have access to all National Register benefits.

If you don’t meet our HSP qualifications, enrolling in this alternate program can still provide you with access to many National Register opportunities. For more information on program specifics and benefits, view the FAQ section below and benefit details above.

Questions?

No. The National Register’s licensure mobility program is based on primary source documentation of education and training and is only available with the National Register HSP credential. Providing documentation of education and training is not a part of National Register Practice Academy enrollment and therefore we cannot verify any credentials to licensing boards or other healthcare organizations.

If you have had trouble locating your supervisors, are otherwise not eligible for the National Register HSP credential, and are looking for access to some of the National Register’s programs, this is a good fit for you.
