If you hold a Minnesota psychologist license, the Minnesota Board of Psychology requires a minimum of 40 hours of board-approved continuing education each two-year renewal period. The Board does not publish a fixed list of mandated subject hours, so you may generally choose any combination of approved activities relevant to your practice. Documentation must be retained for eight years. Below is the full breakdown.
