California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 2 — Healing ArtsChapter 6.6 — PsychologistsArticle 1 — General ProvisionsSection 2915.1
(a) Any person applying for a license as a psychologist or registration as research psychoanalyst shall, in addition to any other requirements, show by evidence satisfactory to the board that they have completed training in human sexuality as a condition of licensure. The training shall be creditable toward continuing education requirements as deemed appropriate by the board, and the course shall not exceed more than 50 contact hours.
(b) The board shall exempt from the requirements of this section any persons whose field of practice is such that they are not likely to have use for this training.
(c) “Human sexuality” as used in this section means the study of a human being as a sexual being and how a human being functions with respect thereto.
(d) The content and length of the training shall be determined by the board.
(e) If the board proposes to establish a training program in human sexuality, the board shall first consult with other licensing boards or agencies that have established or propose to establish a training program in human sexuality to ensure that the programs are compatible in scope and content.
Notes
Requires applicants for a psychologist license or research-psychoanalyst registration to show satisfactory evidence of human-sexuality training, capped at 50 contact hours, with content and length set by the board. Exempts applicants whose practice field makes the training unlikely to be useful and requires inter-board consultation before the board establishes its own human-sexuality training program.
