[OBOPeNews] Safe Clinical Practices During COVID

[OBOP updates]

The Oregon Board of Psychology recognizes that there are some unknowns and many questions about the best way for practitioners to protect the public in the practice of psychology, particularly as we approach the possible transition from telehealth to in-person visits. The Board is working on making guidance available for best practices, and we will provide this in our newsletter and on our website<https://www.oregon.gov/psychology/Pages/index.aspx> and as needed, in stand-alone emails as quickly as possible. Be watching for this information in the next few weeks.

The Board invites members of the public and licensees to please use the following survey to submit your questions and concerns about creating safe clinical practices during COVID. Your input will help us create a most relevant "Frequently Asked Questions" reference tool.

Please be aware, as new knowledge is acquired about virus transmission and tested safety protocols, we may need to update or in some circumstances reverse information to reflect new evidence.  The Board cannot provide medical or insurance advice, and does not provide interpretation of the Governor's Executive Orders or Oregon Health Authority's guidelines.
