Need help understanding technicalities of getting a Psychologist license
Recently graduated with a BS Psychology degree. I want to be a Psychologist, and I have many questions about how to get there kasi I have no one to ask and Googling only leaves me more confused.
For the registered Psychologists, what steps do you recommend I take to get there? Do I need to take the RPm boards before enrolling in masters? Can I take the RPsy boards after finishing masters, or kailangan pa magfinish ng doctorate? What's your timeline of events to get where you are today, and if you had any regrets, what were they? Lastly, I recently learned about Master of Psychology graduate study, which is non-thesis... if I enroll in that, can I still take the RPsy boards? Or need talaga magka thesis? How much did you shell out in tuitions and expenses, all in all?
Sorry about the barrage of questions. I'm lost and would appreciate a little clarity before I make huge decisions. Thank you!
