Increased concerns
 

It seems inappropriate to implement this change to all providers as each individual's experience may vary during their time in the field.  Many individuals submerge themselves in various fields, working with a diverse clientele, making them completely qualified and competent to supervise within a 2 year time period.  To date, many residents experience difficulty locating and maintaining clinical supervisors.  Making this change, would increase these challenges for residents and present more barriers during residency.  A better approach would be increasing the amount of continuing education needed for those in a clinical supervisor role
