"Mandatory" Continuing Education for Psychologists: Debating the Issues

MSPP Statement of Position Against the Implementation of Mandatory Continuing Education for Psychologists in Michigan After careful consideration and thorough deliberation, the Board of MSPP voted, on May 5, 2002, to take a position against the implementation of MCE for psychologists in Michigan. This position is a restatement of MSPP’s traditional belief in the efficacy and philosophical importance of self-direction in education, which includes the obligation and right of the professional to the maximum degrees of freedom in designing and choosing his/her education and/or program of study.
