Under temporary permission, the maximum duration for a licensed psychologist from elsewhere to work in PA (without considering an extension) is what?

• A. 3 months
• B. 9 months
• C. 6 months
• D. 12 months

Answer: (C)

Temporary permission is a short-term allowance for a psychologist licensed in another state to practice in Pennsylvania while pursuing PA licensure. The initial period is limited to six months, so without considering any extension, the maximum duration is six months. The shorter options would end too soon for a typical transition, and the longer options exceed the standard initial window.
