Sorry, I get very confused when I hear numbers thrown around and I just need some clarification. So, in your case, the 2000 refers to hours accrued on internship, right? I believe Erg was originally concerned about the person who claimed to have over 2900 hours before even applying to internship (let alone that year between applying and starting).
Also, maybe I'm figuring my hours incorrectly, but isn't it only clinical contact hours that are counted in this figure? I don't understand how you could have 2000 clinical contact hours over the course of a one-year internship. 40 x 52 = 2080, but that would mean seeing clients non-stop, full-time every day and every week. What about supervision, progress note writing, team meetings, etc? Are there really internships that expect you to carry a caseload of 40 face to face hours each week?
