Rule 30-3201-6.4 - STANDARDS FOR DEFINING THE YEAR OF POST-DOCTORAL EXPERIENCE

The post-doctoral year (second year of supervised experience) is appropriate to the applicant's graduate training specialization. If a post-doctoral year has not been completed, a plan of supervision for the post-doctoral year must be submitted, along with the completed application and accompanying fee for approval by the Board which must address the issues below.

The post-doctoral year consists of a minimum of 2000 hours of supervised experience and must be completed within a two-year period.

The ratio of supervision time to direct service time should be sufficient to ensure adequate learning; namely, at least two hours per week of formal, face-to-face individual supervision.

Supervision consists of direct, formal contact with a senior professional who is responsible for the educational development and guidance of the trainee or supervisee. Class work, practicum experience or other course related experience may not be counted as part of the required supervision.

Supervision must be for the direct provision of psychological services by the applicant to individuals or groups of clients/patients.

An applicant's own personal growth experience, personal therapy or encounter groups, may not be counted as part of the required supervision experience. The supervision of others may not be counted as part of the required supervision experience.

Supervisors must meet the following criteria:

A. The supervisor must be employed for no less than twelve (12) hours per week at the facility where the post doctoral experience is obtained; or, if this is not possible due to practical considerations, the applicant must provide evidence of the supervisor's contractual relationship with the facility. In either event, the supervisor must be available for supervision and consultation at any time during the supervisee's work week.

B. Supervisors must be licensed for practice of psychology in the jurisdiction where the supervision is provided.

C. The professional qualifications of each direct supervisor must be appropriate to the services rendered.

D. The supervisor, at the time of supervision, must not be in a dual relationship with the supervisee.

E. The supervisor must have sufficient knowledge of all clients for whom supervision is provided, including face-to-face contact with the client when necessary, to effectively develop and monitor service delivery procedures and the supervisee's treatment plan.
