QMHP Requirements
 

I do not agree with removing the educational requirement to obtain QMHP registration. The approved fields of study should be reviewed for possible expansion but not taken completely away. Education in combination with experience prepares someone in this field to provide effective, and proper treatment to the individuals they serve.  Removing the requirement will be a disservice the individuals we serve as well as create a risk of ethical and possible legal ramifications.
