2. Supervision & Mentorship (Tennessee Standards)

• Provide clinical supervision to Psychological Residents (post-docs) and Certified Psychological Assistants/Technicians in accordance with Tennessee Rule 1180-02.
• Act as the "Supervisor of Record" for clinicians accruing hours toward their HSP designation.
