Psychologist CPD Requirements in Spain

CPDNo statutory periodic CPD hour mandate for relicensing or renewal. The Psicólogo General Sanitario is a regulated health profession (created by Ley 5/2011 and Ley 33/2011); to practice, holders must possess the Máster en Psicología General Sanitaria and be registered (colegiado) with a Colegio Oficial de la Psicología, but colegiación does not carry a fixed number of renewal CPD hours. Continuing professional development in Spain is voluntary and accreditation-based: activities are accredited by the Comisión de Formación Continuada de las Profesiones Sanitarias del SNS (autonomous-community and national commissions), which award créditos used for career progression (carrera/desarrollo profesional continuo under Ley 44/2003, LOPS), employment merit and the COP/EuroPsy voluntary accreditations — not as a hard relicensing threshold. Autonomous-community carrera-profesional schemes and voluntary EuroPsy renewal (roughly every 7 years, evidence of ongoing practice/CPD) may impose CPD-style expectations, but there is no nationwide legal periodic hour requirement to keep the PGS title.

CPDNo statutory periodic CPD hour mandate for relicensing or renewal. The Psicólogo Especialista en Psicología Clínica is the official specialist health title (obtained through the PIR residency and regulated by Ley 44/2003, Ley de Ordenación de las Profesiones Sanitarias). The title, once granted, does not expire and there is no fixed national CPD hour requirement to retain it. Continuing education (formación continuada / desarrollo profesional continuo) is voluntary and accreditation-based through the Comisión de Formación Continuada de las Profesiones Sanitarias del SNS, whose créditos feed into carrera profesional grades, job-competition merit and voluntary professional accreditations rather than a hard relicensing threshold.
