Do the requirements under Section 31B of the HCSA apply to all clinical psychologists who wish to use the protected title, “Dr” in advertisements regardless of whether they practise at licensed (e.g., IMH and SGH) or non-licensed healthcare service providers (e.g. private psychological service providers/ clinics)?

Yes, the requirements under Section 31B of the HCSA apply to all clinical psychologists who wish to use the protected title, “Dr” in advertisements regardless of whether they practice at licensed (e.g., IMH and SGH) or nonlicensed healthcare service providers (e.g., private psychological service providers).
This is because a clinical psychologist is not a “specified person” (i.e. not a registered healthcare professional) as defined under Section 31B of the HCSA.
