Action | Acceptance of doctoral practicum/internship hours towards residency requirements |

I support the proposed regulatory action of accepting doctoral practicum/internship hours to count towards residency requirements. CACREP accredited doctoral programs provide extensive structure and supervision to their candidates as is. Providing the option for these programs to directly oversee residency hours would be a positive choice for the Virginia Board of Counseling and help candidates in their licensure process.
