Psychopharmacology Examination for Psychologists
Psychopharmacology educational programs and their graduates also benefit by administration of the PEP. The College plans to provide psychopharmacology educational programs with aggregated comparative data about graduates’ performance while maintaining the confidentiality of individual examinees. Practitioners who are contemplating psychopharmacology training will also find this data of assistance in evaluating available programs.
