Practice owners often want to have interns and supervisees in their practice as a way to give back to the next generation of therapists, providing high quality supervision they wish they had themselves or to generate additional revenue without taking on another employee. In order to follow legal, ethical, HIPAA, and other guidelines relevant to having interns and supervisees in your practice, financial investments in systems used must be made.

This presentation will help you understand the most common mistakes practices make when they have interns and supervisees, ideas of where to look for the answers you need, and how to create a supervision environment that gives you peace of mind that you’re equipped to incorporate interns and supervisees into your practice in a way that maintains your fulfillment of legal-ethical responsibilities and models legal-ethical practice for the interns/supervisees.
