When do you become "post-residency" if you fast track into C&A?

I'm thinking way ahead here but I appreciate you all humoring me. I've seen a few jobs, such as working as an RMO/P in the Foreign Service, which require a certain number of years post-residency before you are eligible to apply. They phrase it:
"Applicant must have a current board certification by the ABPN and have a minimum of five years post-residency clinical experience in adult or child/adolescent psychiatry with at least 50% of the applicant’s time involved in direct patient care during the last five years."
If, hypothetically, I were to fast track into a C&A fellowship after three years of adult psychiatry, would my "post-residency" clock start at PGY-4 when I'm technically in fellowship rather than residency, or would it not start until later?

Thanks for any insight.

Agree that they probably mean after all of residency and fellowship are completed.
