Executive Director of the Florida Board of Psychology

RE: Recognition of Specialty Boards
Dear Mr. Hall and Members of the Florida Board of Psychology:
I am writing to you on behalf of the Board of Directors of the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABN) regarding what we have been told is a proposal before the Florida Board to use approval by the US Department of Veterans Affairs as the criterion for recognition of all specialty boards in psychology in the state of Florida. We are interested in such issues since we have a national presence and many Diplomates of our board reside and practice in Florida.
We have contacted the Department of Veterans Affairs today via telephone and the representative there tells me they do not certify or “approve” any particular board, nor do they have criteria for neither specialty board approval, nor a process by which to establish such a mechanism. They do provide for a pay raise if one holds a diploma from an ABPP affiliated specialty board. It appears if you were to go this route, no specialty boards would be “approved” or certified in the common sense of the term, or perhaps you would consider the allowance of a higher pay grade evidence of a “tacit” approval, but one that many might see as arbitrary. This is especially true since the USDVA could not locate for me an application form or describe any standard process by which a specialty board may apply for and be evaluated for such an approved status.
If you are seeking external or national criteria which can be fairly applied, by which specialty boards may be afforded an application process, and organizational and peer review to approve their own certification process, such programs do exist. In psychology, perhaps the best known and most respected as well as established is the program of the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology (NRHSPP), which has served in this capacity for approximately 35 years. NRHSPP has worked diligently to develop standards of education for psychological specialties in many areas but specifically in the domain of psychologists as health service providers. They have existing, formal, established mechanisms of recognizing specialty boards that specify criteria for recognition, an application process, and methods for review as well as appeal of decisions and the like. If you are thus seeking guidance in recognition of specialty boards, the NRHSPP model seems a superior, nonarbitrary model to follow. The NRHSPP is already recognized in various aspects by other organizations as a sound credentialing body, including the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards.
Any model you might adopt, however, we would argue should apply equally to all and have a clear set of reasonable criteria, an application process for all parties, and a detailed process for the review of such applications, as well as specified mechanisms of appeal and provision of remedial suggestions for boards failing to meet the published criteria. This makes the process transparent for all concerned; fair to all concerned, and serves the purpose of protecting both the public and the profession.
I must confess that, while I have no proof of the matter, the current proposal reeks of an attempt by ABPP or one of its affiliate boards to monopolize board certification. When the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists passed a rule recognizing only ABPP boards as appropriate for the use of specialty titles, thus denying our Diplomates the use of the designation “Neuropsychologist,” we did take legal action due to the arbitrary nature of the rule as well as the obvious conflicts of interest present on the Texas Board (all Diplomates on the Board at that time were ABPP Diplomates). The Board settled by dropping this rule on the recommendation of the Texas Attorney General’s Office and created objective standards instead, which ABN was pleased it was able to meet.
We look forward to following your process in Florida and hope to communicate with you further as such proposals progress. Please let us know if we may be of any assistance to the Board or if public hearings are held where we may testify regarding any such rule changes or if written testimony should be provided. If permissible, would you please include me in copies of any proposed rule changes so that we may respond appropriately on behalf of our Florida Diplomates? I can be reached via any of the means listed below.
Sincerely yours,
