Advocacy for Proposed Action
 

In my understanding, this proposed action could be helpful towards making the transition to obtaining hours for doctoral residency easier and faster. Most doctoral students have the necessary skills and competence to have these internship hours count towards residency hours as these experiences are just as valuable post-graduatework  in my opinion. Consideration for this action would be helpful for future students (and current) for these reasons.
