- Formal coursework in supervision of psychology trainees taken from an accredited educational institution
- Workshops in supervision of psychology trainees
- Supervision training received as part of grand rounds
- Other experiences which provide direction and education in the principles of supervision of psychology trainees.
* Note 2: For Psychologists, taking a Law and Ethics CE course each renewal cycle is one of several options for how to fulfill this requirement. The requirement may be met each renewal cycle by any of these means:
- Formal coursework in laws and ethics taken from an accredited educational institution;
- Approved continuing education course in laws and ethics;
- Workshops in laws and ethics;
- Other experiences which provide direction and education in laws and ethics including, but not limited to, grand rounds or professional association presentation.
