Maryland Psychology Laws, Licensure, and Board Authority (Q1–
Q10)
Q1. A psychologist licensed in another state relocates to Maryland and
begins providing psychological services before obtaining Maryland licensure.
Which regulatory concern is most likely implicated?
A. Failure to complete continuing education requirements
B. Unauthorized practice of psychology in Maryland
C. Improper billing procedures only
D. Violation of federal privacy law exclusively
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Unauthorized practice of psychology in Maryland
Explanation: 🔹 Maryland law generally requires appropriate licensure before
engaging in the independent practice of psychology within the state. Practicing
without authorization may constitute unlicensed practice and expose the
individual to disciplinary or legal action. Option A concerns already-licensed
practitioners. Option C is unrelated to licensure status. Option D may apply in
some circumstances but does not address the primary violation presented in
the scenario.
Q2. The primary purpose of the Maryland Board of Examiners of
Psychologists is to:
A. Promote psychologists' business interests
B. Establish insurance reimbursement rates
C. Protect the public through regulation of psychological practice
D. Represent psychologists in malpractice litigation
,Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Protect the public through regulation of
psychological practice
Explanation: 🔹 Professional licensing boards exist primarily to protect the
public by establishing standards for licensure, competency, and ethical
conduct. They are not trade associations, insurers, or legal defense
organizations. Options A, B, and D therefore do not represent the Board's
central statutory mission.
Q3. A licensed psychologist receives notice of a Board investigation. What is
generally the most appropriate professional response?
A. Ignore the notice until a formal hearing is scheduled
B. Destroy potentially relevant records
C. Cooperate appropriately and respond according to regulatory
requirements
D. Contact former clients and ask them to alter complaints
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Cooperate appropriately and respond according to
regulatory requirements
Explanation: 🔹 Regulatory investigations require timely, professional
cooperation consistent with legal obligations. Ignoring communications,
destroying records, or attempting to influence complainants may worsen
disciplinary consequences and raise additional ethical concerns.
Q4. Which situation most directly falls within the Board's disciplinary
authority?
A. A disagreement regarding office décor
B. A psychologist's alleged violation of professional standards
, C. A client's dissatisfaction with parking availability
D. A dispute between neighbors unrelated to practice
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. A psychologist's alleged violation of professional
standards
Explanation: 🔹 Licensing boards oversee professional conduct and
competence. Alleged violations of statutes, regulations, or ethical standards fall
squarely within their jurisdiction. The remaining options do not involve
professional regulatory concerns.
Q5. A psychologist knowingly provides false information during a licensure
renewal process. Which principle is most directly implicated?
A. Professional honesty and regulatory compliance
B. Marketing effectiveness
C. Office management efficiency
D. Continuing education selection
Correct Answer: 🔴 A. Professional honesty and regulatory compliance
Explanation: 🔹 Truthfulness in interactions with regulatory authorities is
fundamental to professional practice. Providing false information may
constitute fraud, misrepresentation, or professional misconduct. The other
options are unrelated to the misconduct described.
Q6. A psychologist changes practice locations and fails to update required
information with the licensing board. What is the most likely concern?
A. Noncompliance with professional reporting obligations
B. Breach of informed consent only
