Would a psychology master student working under a registered psychologist qualify as an "Authorized medical practitioner"? Both on receipt, but only latter on CRA list.

Receipts include both the master student and the registered psychologist, but only actual psychologists are on CRA's list of authorized medical practitioners. I would this expense would not qualify.

Only the prescriptions that have the registered psychologist's signature are eligible to be claimed as medical expenses.

Thanks. Just to clarify, this is services and not a prescription provided by a master student.
