Part unconfirmed Read on October 11, 2026
Read from the board’s own source. What follows was read on October 11, 2026 in the sources named on this page. Rules change, and the board decides: confirm before you rely on it.
- The regulation as read on 2026-10-11 names no subject that must be covered. The board’s own website, which was not reachable, may list subjects it expects; check it before relying on this entry for that.
- The regulation covers every license and certificate the board issues. Only the clinical license is entered here; the graduate license was not separately confirmed.
