Job Description:
Applicants pending the completion of educational or
certification/licensure requirements may be referred and
tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements
are met. BASIC REQUIREMENTS United States Citizenship: Non-citizens
may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified
citizens in accordance with VA Policy. English Language
Proficiency: Must be proficient in spoken and written English.
Education: Must Have a doctoral degree in psychology from a
graduate program in psychology accredited by the American
Psychological Association (APA), the Psychological Clinical Science
Accreditation System (PCSAS), or the Canadian Psychological
Association (CPA) at the time the program was completed. The
specialty area of the degree must be consistent with the assignment
for which the applicant is to be employed. For the purpose of
meeting this requirement, the term "specialty area" refers to the
specific specialty areas recognized by the accrediting body and not
to specific job duties that might require special skills.
Currently, APA accredits doctoral programs in the specialty areas
of clinical psychology, counseling psychology, school psychology,
or combinations of two or more of those areas. PCSAS accredits
doctoral programs in psychological clinical science. CPA accredits
doctoral programs in clinical psychology, counseling psychology,
clinical neuropsychology, and school psychology. There are no job
assignments in VHA that require the skills of a school
psychologist; therefore, an applicant with a degree in the
specialty area of school psychology is not eligible for
appointment. Strictly for the purpose of determining eligibility
for appointment as a psychologist in VHA, there is no distinction
between the specialty areas (with the exception of school
psychology).(TRANSCRIPTS REQUIRED)
OR
Must have doctoral degree in any area of psychology and, in
addition, successfully complete a re-specialization program
(including documentation of an approved internship completed as
part of the re-specialization program) meeting both of the
following conditions:(a) The re-specialization program must be
completed in an APA or a CPA accredited doctoral program; and, (b)
the specialty in which the applicant is retrained must be
consistent with the assignment for which the applicant is to be
employed.
NOTE: The applicant must provide an official transcript and/or
certificate documenting the completion of the re-specialization
program, which includes completion of an APA or CPA internship.
OR Must have a doctoral degree awarded between 1951 and 1978 from a
regionally-accredited institution, with a dissertation primarily
psychological in nature. (TRANSCRIPTS REQUIRED) AND Internships
(DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED): Must have successfully completed a
professional psychology internship training program that was
accredited by APA or CPA at the time the program was completed and
that is consistent with the assignment for which the applicant is
to be employed.
OR
New VHA psychology internship programs that are in the process of
applying for APA accreditation are acceptable in fulfillment of the
internship requirement, provided that such programs were sanctioned
by the VHA Central Office Program Director for Psychology and the
VHA Office of Academic Affiliations at the time that the individual
was an intern;
OR
VHA facilities that offered full-time, one-year pre-doctoral
internships prior to PL 96-151 (pre-1979) are considered to be
acceptable in fulfillment of the internship requirement;
OR
Applicants who completed an internship that was not accredited by
APA or CPA at the time the program was completed may be considered
eligible for hire only if they are currently board certified by the
American Board of Professional Psychology in a specialty area that
is consistent with the assignment for which the applicant is to be
employed. (NOTE: Once board certified, the employee is required to
maintain board certification.)
OR
Applicants who have a doctoral degree awarded between 1951 and 1978
from a regionally-accredited institution with a dissertation
primarily psychological in nature may fulfill this internship
requirement by having the equivalent of a one-year supervised
internship experience in a site specifically acceptable to the
candidate's doctoral program. If the internship experience is not
noted on the applicant's official transcript, the applicant must
provide a statement from the doctoral program verifying that the
equivalent of a one-year supervised internship experience was
completed in a site acceptable to the doctoral program. Licensure.
Applicant must hold a full, current, and unrestricted license to
practice psychology at the doctoral level in a State, Territory, or
Commonwealth of the United States, or the District of Columbia.
(COPY REQUIRED) Exception. Non-licensed applicants who otherwise
meet the eligibility requirements may be given a temporary
appointment as a "graduate psychologist" at the GS-11 or GS-12
grade under the authority of 38 U.S.C. -- 7405 [(c)(2)(B)] for a
period not to exceed two years from the date of employment on the
condition that such a psychologist provide care only under the
supervision of a psychologist who is licensed. Failure to obtain
licensure during that period is justification for termination of
the temporary appointment. In addition to meeting the basic
