Subject: Official Information request - Registered psychologists applying for clinical psychology

+AFs-You don't often get email from fyi-request-29337-53e8e6c4+AEA-requests.fyi.org.nz. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... +AF0-

Dear University of Canterbury,

I am requesting information regarding:
- the number of registered psychologists who have applied for your clinical psychology programme each year for the years 2020 - 2024.
- the number of registered psychologists who have been offered places in your clinical psychology programme each year for the years 2020 - 2024.

I note that recent proposed changes by the Psychologists+IBk- Board would narrow the scope of registered psychologists, so that only clinical psychologists would be able to make complex mental health assessments and diagnoses. If these proposed changes were implemented, registered psychologists would either be unable to make complex mental health assessments and diagnoses, or would have to be considered on a case-by-case basis to do so.

I am wondering whether these proposed changes may have led to increased numbers of registered psychologists applying for clinical psychology qualifications, because a clinical qualification would allow them to continue to make complex mental health assessments and diagnoses, even if the changes proposed by the Psychology Board go ahead.
As such please, advise whether your clinical psychology admissions staff have noted any new trends in clinical psychology applications - formally or informally - that could be related to these proposed changes.

Yours faithfully,

H. G.
