Regarding the proposed rule change for 14 hours of education needed every 5 years in order to remain a supervisor in good standing in Virginia: I do not see how this can be necessary. As clinicians our greatest asset is furthering our education and knowledge so we can pass that on to new people in our profession. If we are not good communicators or educators that will become known in the community and licensees will not come to us for help. Forcing us to review the regulations and rules will not help with knowledge about how to treat and diagnose clients. Please give us the common courtesy of assuming that we are being responsible toward the rules and regs of Virginia so our supervisees will be well taken care of and actually gain licensure. Please do not treat us as if we are children who cannot follow the rules and regs in the statutes. We can. We do everyday. I do not force a data entry person to take the same course on data entry over and over again. I don't force a lawyer to retake the bar on rules and regs over and over. Give us the same dignity as we give these folks. Let us learn something new to add to our knowledge base, to pass on. Thank yu for your attention to my letter.
