I think our denomination should require the same. At Westminster West we were required to perform 700 hours of (varied) ministerial work in order to graduate in the M.Div. program. This was excellent but perhaps more so was the 11 months of internship I finished after seminary.

Something along these lines, I believe, would satisfy those who (rightly) desire pastoral training as much as theological training for our ministers.
