  2. In order to become a licensed clinical psychologist, the candidate must, in addition to a one-year supervised internship during the doctoral program, have six months post-doctoral supervised practice experience.
  3. In order to become a licensed clinical psychologist, the candidate must have, in addition to a one-year supervised internship during the doctoral program, a full year of post-doctoral supervised practice experience.
  4. While all clinical psychologists are encouraged to take continuing education credits yearly to keep up with the latest information in their field, there is no formal requirement.
Explanation
Answer: C - In order to become licensed clinical psychologists, the candidate must have, in addition to a one-year supervised internship during the doctoral program, another full year of post-doctoral supervised practice experience. Upon completing a Ph.D. program, candidates can apply for a temporary license enabling them to complete the one-year supervised practice experience requirement, but they cannot open their own practice. All clinical psychologists are not just encouraged, but required to take continuing education credits yearly for as long as they are employed in that capacity.
