Tightening supervision requirements during Residency
 

I support the petition to increase the time frame from two to five years of post-licensure experience for supervisors who provide supervision to residents. I've seen a lot of inexperienced supervisors providing supervision to others after only two years of work in the field, which is ultimately to the potential detriment of those we serve. Increasing the time frame (or having the individual document clinical experience in all areas) will enhance the supervision offered to residents (F.2.a) and increase their gatekeeping capacity (F.6.b) to our profession.
