Most US and Canadian jurisdictions require the EPPP for psychology licensure, and some require a second exam on top of it. Here's the shape of the process.
By The ngnsimulation team
The Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP), administered by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB), is the exam most US states and Canadian provinces require before a psychologist can be licensed to practise independently.
Most jurisdictions require the knowledge-based EPPP. Some also require a second, skills-based component in addition to it. Which combination applies to you is set by your specific licensing jurisdiction, not by ASPPB uniformly, so confirm the requirement with the board where you intend to practise before you plan your prep timeline around only one exam.
The EPPP is organized around foundational content domains spanning biological, cognitive-affective, and social bases of behaviour, along with assessment, intervention, and ethicalprofessional practice — reflecting graduate-level psychology training rather than any single specialty.
Because the exam spans the breadth of a graduate psychology curriculum rather than one clinical area, candidates often benefit more from case-based review that reconnects domains than from re-reading any single textbook cover to cover. SimMedAi maps practice to the EPPP as one of its allied-health roles; see psychologist.
