DIVISION I PERSONS OTHER THAN PSYCHOLOGISTS

1. Among the professional activities that may be engaged in by psychologists, the activities required for the completion of a program of studies in psychology may be engaged in by a student registered in a program, on the condition that the student engages in the activities under supervision and in keeping with the regulatory standards that apply to psychologists relating to ethics and the keeping of records and consulting rooms, and that

(1)  the program of studies in psychology in which the student is registered leads to a diploma giving access to the permit issued by the Ordre des psychologues du Québec; or

(2)  the program of studies in psychology in which the student is registered leads to a diploma in psychology issued by an educational institution situated outside Québec of a level equivalent to that of the program provided for in paragraph 1.

O.C. 1026-2012, s. 1.

2. A person who must complete a training period or training for the purposes of the recognition of an equivalence in accordance with the Regulation respecting diploma and training equivalence standards for the issue of a permit by the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (chapter C-26, r. 219) may, among the professional activities that may be engaged in by psychologists, engage in the activities required for the completion of the training period or training that would enable the person to be granted an equivalence, on the condition that the person engages in the activities under supervision and in keeping with the regulatory standards that apply to psychologists relating to ethics and the keeping of records and consulting rooms.

O.C. 1026-2012, s. 2.

3. A person referred to in sections 1 and 2 who has the required knowledge and skills may, where the person acts outside the framework of a program of studies, training period or training, engage in the professional activities that may be engaged in by psychologists in connection with an employment on the condition that the person engages in the activities under supervision and in keeping with the regulatory standards that apply to psychologists relating to ethics and the keeping of records and consulting rooms. That person must also be registered in the register kept for that purpose by the Order.

O.C. 1026-2012, s. 3.

4. The supervisor referred to in sections 1, 2 and 3 must be a member of the Order and, where applicable, be qualified to engage in the professional activities he or she is supervising and have a minimum of 2 years of practical experience in the field of practice covered by the training program, training period or internship to be completed or by the employment held, if he or she holds a doctorate, or a minimum of 6 years of practical experience, if he or she holds a master’s degree.

A person who is a member of another professional order may be a supervisor if the person is qualified to engage in the professional activities he or she is supervising, if the person’s competence and experience are equivalent to those required by the supervisor who is a member of the Order and if an active and continuous cooperation relationship is established between that person and the person in charge of practical training activities on behalf of the university or the Order.

The supervisor may not have been the subject, in the 3 years preceding the supervision, of a decision under section 55 of the Professional Code (chapter C-26) requiring the person to complete a period of refresher training or a refresher course or of a decision by a professional order, a disciplinary council or the Professions Tribunal imposing the striking off the roll, or restriction or suspension of the right to engage in professional activities.

On request, the supervisor sends to the Order the contact information of the student or person he or she is supervising and the terms and conditions that apply to the supervisor.

O.C. 1026-2012, s. 4.
