RxP refers to the professional movement within the field of clinical psychology to provide additional training to psychologists (via a post-doctoral master’s degree in clinical psychopharmacology) in an effort to increase psychologists’ scope of practice to include prescription writing authority. This movement seeks to improve access to psychotropic care and also enhance the quality of that access by pairing psychological training with additional medical/biological training.  Dr. Stith will update you on the current status of the movement within the United States and in Ohio. She will share information about the current status of RxP legislation in Ohio, as well as her experience as a student in a post-doctoral master’s degree in clinical psychopharmacology program.

Objectives:  Presentation attendees will:

•     Know the rationale behind the RxP movement
•    Understand the objections to the RxP movement
•     Learn the APA requirements for prescribing psychologists
•     Become familiar with the content of RxP legislation suggested in Ohio
