I was wondering if people familar with MA licensure can help me figure out the requirement for the postdoc experiences... I am starting a TT position in MA right after my internship. I was told that to accrue qualifiable post-internship licensure requirement in MA, I will need to see 10 patients a week and with additional 2.5 individual supervision hour per week by licensed psychologist. MA licensure doc, however, under 3.04 (9) states " Psychological employment, teaching, research, or professional practice under the supervision of a licensed psychologist shall fulfill the supervised experience requirement for licensure if it is performed competently at a professional level and it is satisfactory in scope and quality...Satisfactory professional experience includes tasks which depend upon the application of skills, concepts, and principles at a professional level. Examples include: administering and interpreting psychological tests; providing clients or patients assistance in solving professional or personal problems; designing original research projects; analyzing and reporting on research data; and teaching a psychology course." This to me reads like all my "normal" research/teaching/mentoring duties for my TT job would all count towards the 1600 post-internship hours with no particular requirements for face-to-face hours.
Thanks a bunch!
