The Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists is a six-member board consisting of five psychologists and one consumer member. Board members are appointed by the Governor to provide consumer protection and public health and welfare through the regulation of the profession. The Board processes licensure applications and receives, investigates and adjudicates complaints issued against licensed psychologists.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING EXAMINATIONS:
The Georgia Psychology Laws & Rules Exam is in the process of being outsourced to a private exam vendor.  More information will be available in the coming days regarding contact information for the private exam vendor.  Information regarding registration, payment, and exam dates will be provided by the vendor.  Once the exam has been outsourced, information will be posted to the board’s website.     
In the meantime, candidates who are ready to sit for the exam should contact the board office at (478) 207-2440 in order to be placed on the eligible candidates list.   You must be on the eligible candidates list or you will not be able to register for the exam. We appreciate your patience during this brief interim period. 


On June 11, 2009, the spread of the H1N1 flu virus caused the World Health Organization to raise the pandemic alert level to Phase 6, the highest level. Georgia officials are currently preparing for the H1N1 influenza campaign and the seasonal influenza campaign that will be conducted during fall and winter. The Department of Community Health is asking all health professionals to serve as emergency response volunteers by signing up to assist with the 2009-2010 novel H1N1 vaccine immunization plan. For more information and to sign up for the online volunteer pool at www.servga.org.
