				less than twelve (12) hours per week at the facility where the post doctoral
				experience is obtained; or, if this is not possible due to practical
				considerations, the applicant must provide evidence of the supervisor's
				contractual relationship with the facility. In either event, the supervisor
				must be available for supervision and consultation at any time during the
				supervisee's work week.

				monitor service delivery procedures and the supervisee's treatment
				plan.
