KS Psych Juris · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Kansas Psychology Jurisprudence Examination is the law-and-ethics component that Kansas uses in the licensure pathway for psychologists. It is intended for doctoral-level applicants seeking licensure as psychologists in Kansas, and for licensees who need to demonstrate current knowledge of Kansas practice requirements. The exam is administered in multiple-choice format and is organized around four domains: Kansas statutes and regulations governing the practice of psychology; legal scope of practice, licensure requirements, and titling; ethical standards and professional conduct; and confidentiality, informed consent, records, and mandated reporting. The credential is issued by the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (KSBSRB), the state agency that licenses psychologists and other behavioral health professions and publishes the governing statutes and regulations. The KS Psych Juris case studies are 5 cases and about 3,168 words.
