Doctoral Internship Hours
 

I support this proposed action. As a student within a CACREP doctoral program in Virginia, I know the requirements my program must meet to maintain accreditation. I can also speak to the level of education I receive in such a program. It would be beneficial for the hours I have obtained during my supervised internship experiences to count toward residency hours as the work mirrors the work we do when working toward licensure.
