ORAL EXAMINATION INTERVIEWING COMMITTEE

 

The NBFE oral examination interviewing committee is currently comprised of two advisory board members and three NBFE certified forensic mental health evaluators. The members of the committee are voluntary and located in various cities in the United States.

 

Before any candidate may sit for the oral examination, they must successfully pass the written examination.  Then, their two-samples to be defended, are reviewed by the committee for eligibility.  Upon determining eligibility, a time and date for the examination is scheduled.  Utilizing a live-conference via the internet, the candidate then defends their samples to the committee. Upon a successful defense , the candidate is then deemed credentialed as a forensic mental health evaluator. 

 

The following is a current list of the oral examination interviewing committee:

 

Richard J. Stride, Psy.D., LPC , LMHC: Chairman of the Committee

Norman E. Hoffman, Ph.D., Ed.D., LMHC, LMFT

Valerie G. Watt, Ph.D., LCSW

Howard L. Carroll, M.Ed, LCPC-13
