Admission process open
In 2003 , the so-called LOPS (Law 44/2003) regulated health professions , which did not include psychology as a health profession, but only recognised specialists in clinical psychology with a PIR (Resident Intern Psychologist)qualification.
As a consequence, by law, psychologists were not allowed to work in health care settings, such as clinics, examination centres, rehabilitation centres, associations for the sick, among others.
In the process of approval of the Public Health Law, the Spanish Congress of Deputies admitted an amendment to the law in an additional provision creating the professional figure of the general psychologist in the health sphere (22/09/2011, BOE 5/10/2011).
