Abstract

In this short article, I will cover the summary of the American Psychological Association (APA) ethics code and the licensing requirements to become a psychologist in the state of California for international medical graduates (IMGs) planning to be licensed in California. Each state can have different requirements, so IMGs should refer to their respective state psychology boards for specific licensing requirements.
