The supervising clinician will show the resident how to complete required documentation and will review all documentation the resident submits for approval. All documentation will be signed by the supervising clinician and co-signed by the supervisee.

Do I need Liability Insurance?

Yes. The supervisee is responsible for carrying their own liability insurance, at the minimum level required by Virginia. This information will need to be provided to the PHR office manager prior to providing any direct service to clients.
