How many intern hours are required for foreign internship?

• A. 1500
• B. 1000
• C. 1800
• D. 1200

Answer: (C)

Foreign internships are treated with a higher hour threshold to ensure comparable hands-on experience when training occurred outside the U.S. In Montana, the intern-hours requirement for a foreign internship is 1800 hours, reflecting the need for additional supervised practice before licensure. This is why 1800 hours is the correct total. Lower totals such as 1500, 1000, or 1200 would not meet the board’s standard for foreign-trained applicants and wouldn’t fulfill the internship requirement. Always check the latest board rules, but 1800 hours is the expected requirement for foreign internships.
