To count toward total post-doctoral hours for licensure, how many hours per week must be worked at minimum?

• A. 5
• B. 10
• C. 20
• D. 15

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that licensure boards require a stable, ongoing amount of supervised postdoctoral work for the hours to count. You must work at least fifteen hours per week in a supervised, approved setting for those hours to count toward the licensure requirements. This minimum helps ensure you're gaining consistent clinical experience and ongoing supervision, rather than accumulating hours sporadically. If you work fewer than this, those hours typically don’t count toward the required total and you’d need to extend the timeline to reach the needed hours. Five or ten hours per week are below the threshold and wouldn’t count, while twenty hours per week satisfies the requirement but isn’t the minimum.
