Agree
 

I fully support the petition to amend 18VAC115-20-52(C)(2) and 18VAC115-50-60(C)(3). Supervisors often face challenges in adequately preparing for their role, and without sufficient training, there can be ethical concerns. Further, there can be concern around financial exploitation of residents where supervisors lose sight of their role. Requiring supervisors to complete two hours of continuing education focused on residency, supervision requirements, and ethical issues will help ensure that they are better equipped to supervise ethically and effectively. This change would protect both supervisees and the integrity of the profession.
