Hey everyone, clinical psychology PhD on internship here. I plan to move to Florida after finishing up internship and want to get licensed in the state. I know FL requires 2,000 postdoc hours, which from what I understand need to be acquired while under a provisional licensure that only lasts for two years. I've had excellent clinical training and learn most by practicing, much more than sitting through didactics and seminars, so my goal is really just to get those hours.
I am deciding between the formal clinical postdoc positions I have been offered in FL and potentially seeking out to create/negotiate an informal postdoc position at other clinics/hospitals. What are some of the things I should consider when deciding between these? Also, I have heard confusing information about "staff" positions after graduation...I am confused because if I am not licensed yet how in the world could I even apply to staff positions in FL?
Thanks everyone!
