		internship. Applicants with a doctoral degree in a non-applied branch of
		psychology from a regionally accredited institution who subsequently earn a

		of the entities listed in divisions (B)(3)(a)(i) to (B)(3)(a)(iv) of section
		4732.10 of the Revised Code within two years of when the applicant was awarded
		the doctoral degree shall be considered graduates of an accredited or
		designated program. With regard to such requirements, the board hereby further
		prescribes that:
(A) For persons seeking admission to examination under division
		  (B)(3)(b) or division (B)(3)(c) of section 4732.10 of the Revised Code, the two
		  years of supervised professional experience in psychological work of a type
		  satisfactory to the board, at least one year of which shall be subsequent to
		  attainment of the doctoral degree required by this rule, shall comply with all
		  of the following requirements if the training experience began prior to the
		  effective date of this rule:
(1) Psychological
			 training supervision shall provide a sequence of experiences to enhance
			 professional attitudes, responsibility, communication skills, critical judgment
			 and technical skills. These training experiences shall follow appropriate
			 educational preparation, including both didactic and practica
			 coursework.
(2) The training
			 experience for the required two years (each to include at least eighteen
			 hundred hours of work in psychology) may occur in more than one setting but
			 must include each year a minimum of fifteen hundred hours in the trainee's
			 applied area(s). In order to qualify for this requirement, the training
			 experience shall follow adequate didactic and practicum
			 preparation.

				board; or
