I support
 

I see significant benefits for lowering the challenges for Residents to locate supervision opportunities. This change would only allow for Residents to receive payments and be responsible for their own taxes. Many organizations use an EHR to process payments and this distinction is not very clear to the consumer. 

As a Supervisor in Private Practice, I don't currently accept Residents in my Private Practice to work because I'm not interested financial burden of passing through the money to them. Yes, Residents should clearly inform the public of their title and explain to clients what the difference is between residency and being full licensed. I don't see how the collection of payments cause any confusion of the client, if the Resident is abiding by the requirements of informed consent of the public and not misrepresenting themselves as licensed professionals.
