Is it time to start preparing for face-to-face supervision? (California BBS)
The short answer is yes. During the COVID-19 pandemic the Board of Behavioral Sciences issued (and extended multiple times) a waiver for the face-to-face supervision requirement. This waiver has allowed Associates in any setting (including private practice) to count supervision via two-way, real-time videoconferencing. We have heard multiple reports indicating that it is highly unlikely that this waiver will be extended beyond the current expiration date of June 30, 2021.
