In support of supervision via videoconferencing
 

I would like to echo the comments of others and offer my strong support for allowing a percentage of supervision to be provided via videoconference.  Within the Department of Corrections many providers or potential providers are hours and/or many miles away from a certified clinician who could or do serve as their supervsior.  By allowing some portion of the required supervision to occur via videoconference, a greater number of staff could receive supervision and could then seek licensure thereby increasing the availability of services to offenders.  In addition, time, money and other resources - not the least of which is fuel - would be saved.
