Current Legislation

HB352 – a bill titled the “Healthcare Licensing Compacts” would allow Alaska to join compacts for medical professionals, allowing expedited licensing for physicians, physician assistants, psychologists, and EMS. The psychology compact known as the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, or PSYPACT would allow qualified licensed psychologists to continue providing therapy to clients that were traveling or out of state for a long duration as long as they were in another PSYPACT state.

The AK-PA Board has surveyed the membership on PSYPACT and based on results have endorsed HB352 and PSYPACT. The survey is now be open to non-member licensed psychologists through the end of March and can be taken at this link: https://www.ak-pa.org/lac/

Upcoming CE Events

The Trust Ethics Workshop:
Risky Business: The Ethics and Risk Management of High-Risk Circumstances in Clinical Practice

CE Units: 6.0 Ethics
Date: Saturday, April 11, 2026
Time: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm (AKST)

Psychologists routinely encounter complex, high-stakes situations that require sound clinical judgment, ethical decision-making, and proactive risk management. This advanced workshop provides a deep dive into five of the most legally and ethically challenging areas of practice: compassionate and competent treatment of suicidal patients while balancing clinical and liability concerns, navigating the complexities of duty to protect obligations, working effectively with high-conflict families, managing subpoenas and courtroom testimony, and ensuring a legally and ethically sound termination of treatment. This day-long workshop will provide actionable strategies to mitigate risk, protect clients and practice, and enhance confidence in addressing these critical issues. This seminar is a key training for psychologists seeking to strengthen their ethical competence and safeguard their professional integrity in today’s increasingly complex clinical landscape.
