I think allowing supervision of a QMHP trainee by a QMHP is a great idea, but I do think that it needs to be someone with more than 2 years experience.  I think that the supervision should be by a QMHP with 5+ years of experience in the field and there should be training on providing supervision.  LPC's and LCSW's are supervised by peers so why not QMHP's.  There could be a mechanism for having an LMHP available to the supervising QMHP for consultation if needed.

As for sociology and criminal justice degrees, those should definitely be allowable degrees for QMHP's
