On this day in 2014, Illinois became just the third state to enact prescriptive authority for psychologists. This episode of The Continuing Evolution and History of RxP features the inside story of its creation. Host Dr. George Kapalka sits down with Dr. Beth Rom-Rymer for an in-depth discussion of the decades-long effort to secure prescribing rights for psychologists in Illinois. The conversation traces Dr. Rom-Rymer’s professional journey—from victim advocacy and domestic violence work in Florida to her leadership within APA and the Illinois Psychological Association—and details legislative strategy, coalition-building, advocacy, fundraising, and stakeholder engagement. The episode also explores the ongoing expansion of prescribing authority in Illinois, the state’s distinctive training model, and the growing international momentum for psychologist prescribing in countries such as Canada and South Africa.
