A. Two years of full-time (4,000 hours) supervised and documented experience shall be required for licensure. Up to one year full-time (2,000 hours) of an acceptable internship may be applied to this requirement, however all remaining supervision must be post-doctoral.

1. Postdoctoral supervised practice hours can begin accruing after the date on which all requirements for the doctoral degree are met, with no outstanding points of evaluation, and verified by the degree-granting institution. Verification must occur via submission of a form and process as delineated by the board. Credit shall not be granted for practice that is in connection with the course work practicum experience for which predoctoral graduate credits are granted.

2. To be credited toward the two years full-time requirements each assignment in a setting or integrated program shall be of at least 500 hours in duration and at least half-time for that setting or integrated program. Supervised practice must be completed within five calendar years, and for cause shown, the board may grant extensions.

3. Internship Programs. A predoctoral internship shall be credited toward the required two years of supervised experience if that experience was required as a part of the doctoral degree and meets the board's requirements under LAC 46:LXIII.305.
