What can a psychologist do if they fail an audit of their CE activities?

If a psychologist fails an audit of their continuing education (CE) activities, they have the option to complete the required CE hours within a designated timeframe to resolve the issue. This approach allows them to meet the necessary criteria and continue practicing in good standing. Completing the CE requirements within 31 days demonstrates their commitment to adhering to professional standards and staying current in their field. This is an important step in ensuring compliance with licensing board regulations and maintaining their ability to provide psychological services.

Other options may not effectively address the immediate requirements following a failed audit. For instance, reapplying for the license after a year does not help in rectifying the situation in a timely manner. Similarly, switching licenses to another state would not be a direct response to the audit failure, as they would still need to comply with CE requirements in the new state. While appealing the board's decision could be a potential route, it might not solve the immediate issue of fulfilling the CE obligations necessary for maintaining their license.
