This chapter does not apply to:

1. A student or intern pursuing a course of study in psychology or industrial-organizational psychology at a school or college, if the activities and services are a part of the individual's supervised course of study and are under the supervision of a licensed psychologist who meets the required supervision and continuing education requirements and demonstrates competency in the area of the student's or intern's practice or industrial-organizational psychologist. The student or intern may not use the title "psychologist" or "industrial-organizational psychologist". The student or intern status and the supervisor must be clearly stated.

2. A lecturer, from any school or college, who uses an academic or research title when lecturing to institutions or organizations. However, the lecturer may not engage in the practice of psychology or industrial-organizational psychology unless the lecturer is licensed or registered under this chapter.

3. An individual employed by a public school if that individual's activities and services are restricted to the practice of psychology in the district or service unit of employment. This exemption applies only if the individual has received a master's degree in school psychology from an accredited graduate training program. Standards must be established by mutual consent of the board and the education standards and practices board.

4. An individual certified, licensed, or registered in this state in another health care profession, or as a member of the clergy functioning in a ministerial capacity, whose scope of practice is consistent with the accepted standards of that individual's profession. An individual claiming an exemption under this subsection may not represent to be rendering psychological services.

5. An individual employed by an agency, a nonprofit corporation, or an institution if that individual is currently exempt from licensure. An individual exempt under this subsection continues to be exempt if the individual continues employment in the same position with the agency, nonprofit corporation, or institution that applied for and received the exemption.
