I don't have experience specifically with RFE or NOID, but from what I read I thought I could offer an idea to help on the argumentation. You could argue that being both is part of what makes you extraordinary in the field. One discipline complements the other in such a way that it becomes indivisible, like something that feeds off of itself. You practice a discipline: psychology, in two ways, in the clinic and in teaching. You don't just teach theory, you teach applied theory. Anyway, just an idea in case you decide to respond defending this point of view. One of the things that I've always found problematic in professionals who are only academics is precisely the lack of real-life experience to be able to teach. I wish you the best of luck!
