Education requirements for licensure and continuing education topics in certain health-related occupations modified.
This bill modifies education and continuing education requirements for psychologists and marriage and family therapists in Minnesota. It requires psychology license applicants to complete graduate-level coursework in domestic violence and mandates that continuing education for both professions include specific training on cultural diversity and domestic violence. The changes directly affect individuals seeking licensure in these health occupations and those renewing their licenses, ensuring they receive training in areas related to domestic violence and cultural competence.
