Dishonest Application for Occupational License
An applicant concealed a criminal conviction in his 2005 application to take the psychological associate exam, and was therefore barred from the exam. When he re-applied in 2007 and was truthful but still was denied the opportunity to take the exam, he appealed.
The Alaska Board of Psychologist and Psychological Associate Examiners has now affirmed the denial of his 2007 application, holding
1) an untruthful response on a licensing application “relate[s] to the practice of counseling or psychometry” and bars sitting for the exam; and
2) the Board has discretion to deny an application because of a misrepresentation on an earlier application.
In the Matter of Peter Igwacho, OAH No. 07-0492-PSY (Mar. 14, 2008)
Starting next week, the Alaska Office of Administrative Hearings will post its occupational licensing decisions (or at least the significant ones) on-line. OAH’s decisions website is here.
