Qualifications

Basic Requirements:
United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy.
Education:
(1) Have a doctoral degree in psychology from a graduate program in psychology accredited by the
American Psychological Association (APA), the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System
(PCSAS), or the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) at the time the program was completed.
The specialty area of the degree must be consistent with the assignment for which the applicant is to be
employed. For the purpose of meeting this requirement, the term "specialty area" refers to the specific
specialty areas recognized by the accrediting body and not to specific job duties that might require
special skills. Currently, APA accredits doctoral programs in the specialty areas of clinical psychology,
counseling psychology, school psychology, or combinations of two or more of those areas. PCSAS
accredits doctoral programs in psychological clinical science. CPA accredits doctoral programs in
clinical psychology, counseling psychology, clinical neuropsychology, and school psychology. There
are no job assignments in VHA that require the skills of a school psychologist; therefore, an applicant
with a degree in the specialty area of school psychology is not eligible for appointment.
OR
(2) Have a doctoral degree in any area of psychology and, in addition, successfully complete a re-specialization
program (including documentation of an approved internship completed as part of the re-specialization
program) meeting both of the following conditions:
a. The re-specialization program must be completed in an APA or a CPA accredited doctoral
program; and,
NOTE: The applicant must provide an official transcript and/or certificate documenting the completion
of the re-specialization program, which includes completion of an APA or CPA internship.
[Psychologists who have successfully completed a re-specialization program as described above and
who were employed by the Department of Veterans Affairs prior to the implementation of this standard
are considered to have fully met the educational requirements of these qualification standards.
[OR
(3) Have a doctoral degree awarded between 1951 and 1978 from a regionally-accredited institution,
with a dissertation primarily psychological in nature.]
AND
(4) Internships
(a) Have successfully completed a professional psychology internship training program that was
accredited by APA or CPA at the time the program was completed and that is consistent with the
assignment for which the applicant is to be employed.
OR
(b) New VHA psychology internship programs that are in the process of applying for APA
accreditation are acceptable in fulfillment of the internship requirement, provided that such programs
were sanctioned by the VHA Central Office Program Director for Psychology and the VHA Office of
Academic Affiliations at the time that the individual was an intern;
OR
(c) VHA facilities that offered full-time, one-year pre-doctoral internships prior to PL 96-151 (pre-
1979) are considered to be acceptable in fulfillment of the internship requirement;
OR
(d) Applicants who completed an internship that was not accredited by APA or CPA at the time the
program was completed may be considered eligible for hire only if they are currently board certified by
the American Board of Professional Psychology in a specialty area that is consistent with the assignment
for which the applicant is to be employed. (NOTE: Once board certified, the employee is required to
maintain board certification.)
[OR
(e) Applicants who have a doctoral degree awarded between 1951 and 1978 from a regionally accredited
institution with a dissertation primarily psychological in nature may fulfill this internship requirement by having the equivalent of a one-year supervised internship experience in a site
specifically acceptable to the candidate's doctoral program. If the internship experience is not noted on
the applicant's official transcript, the applicant must provide a statement from the doctoral program
verifying that the equivalent of a one-year supervised internship experience was completed in a site
acceptable to the doctoral program.
NOTE: Psychologists who meet the requirements of this revision and who were employed by the
Department of Veterans Affairs prior to the implementation of this standard are considered to have fully
met the requirements of this qualification standard.]
Licensure. Hold a full, current, and unrestricted license to practice psychology at the doctoral
level in a State, Territory, or Commonwealth of the United States, or the District of Columbia.
Loss of Credential. A psychologist who fails to maintain the required licensure must be
removed from the occupation, which may result in termination of employment. At the discretion of the
appointing official, an employee may be reassigned to another occupation if qualified and if a placement
opportunity exists.
Board Certification and Loss of Credential
(1) Board Certification. Persons hired to psychology positions in the VHA who completed an
internship that was not accredited at the time the program was completed must be board certified by the
American Board of Professional Psychology in a specialty area that is consistent with the assignment for
which the applicant is to be employed. The board certificate must be current and the applicant must
abide by the certifying body's requirement for continuing education.
(2) Loss of Credential. Once board certified, psychologist must maintain a full, valid and
unrestricted board certification to remain qualified for employment. A psychologist who fails to
maintain the required board certification must be removed from the occupation, which may result in
termination of employment. At the discretion of the appointing official, an employee may be reassigned
to another occupation if qualified and if a placement opportunity exists.

criteria must be met when determining the grade of candidates:

Education

IMPORTANT: A transcript must be submitted with your application if you are basing all or part of your qualifications on education.

Note: Only education or degrees recognized by the U.S. Department of Education from accredited colleges, universities, schools, or institutions may be used to qualify for Federal employment. You can verify your education here: http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/. If you are using foreign education to meet qualification requirements, you must send a Certificate of Foreign Equivalency with your transcript in order to receive credit for that education. For further information, visit: http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ous/international/usnei/us/edlite-visitus-forrecog.html.

Additional information

Receiving Service Credit or Earning Annual (Vacation) Leave: Federal Employees earn annual leave at a rate (4, 6 or 8 hours per pay period) which is based on the number of years they have served as a Federal employee. Selected applicants may qualify for credit toward annual leave accrual, based on prior work experience or military service experience. This credited service can be used in determining the rate at which they earn annual leave. Such credit must be requested and approved prior to the appointment date and is not guaranteed.

This job opportunity announcement may be used to fill additional vacancies.

This position is in the Excepted Service and does not confer competitive status.

VA encourages persons with disabilities to apply. The health-related positions in VA are covered by Title 38, and are not covered by the Schedule A excepted appointment authority.

Pursuant to VHA Directive 1193.01, VHA health care personnel (HCP) are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 subject to such accommodations as required by law (i.e., medical, religious or pregnancy). VHA HCPs do not include remote workers who only infrequently enter VHA locations. If selected, you will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and submit documentation of proof of vaccination before your start date. The agency will provide additional information regarding what information or documentation will be needed and how you can request a legally required accommodation from this requirement using the reasonable accommodation process.

To ensure compliance with an applicable preliminary nationwide injunction, which may be supplemented, modified, or vacated, depending on the course of ongoing litigation, the Federal Government will take no action to implement or enforce the COVID-19 vaccination requirement pursuant to Executive Order 14043 on Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees. Therefore, to the extent a VA job announcement includes language requiring applicants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 pursuant to Executive Order 14043, that requirement does not currently apply to this Job Announcement. VA may request information regarding your vaccination status, if selected, for the purposes of implementing other workplace safety protocols, such as masking, physical distancing, testing, travel, and quarantine.

Due to COVID-19, VA is currently in an expanded telework posture. If selected, you may be expected to temporarily telework, even if your home is located outside the local commuting area. Once employees are permitted to return to the office, you will be expected to report to the duty station listed on this announcement. Management officials will provide information about returning to the official, pre-pandemic worksite, when applicable. At that time, you may be eligible to request to continue to telework depending upon the terms of your organization's telework policy and the duties of the position.
