Who is exempt from the supervision requirements for individual or face-to-face video supervised work experience?

The exemption from the supervision requirements for individual or face-to-face video supervised work experience applies specifically to Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Fellows. This is due to the nature of their training and the type of work they engage in, which often involves consultation, research, or applied I/O psychology in environments that do not necessitate the same level of clinical supervision required for other positions.

In contrast, graduate interns, clinical psychologists, and PsyD students typically require supervision to ensure that their practice aligns with ethical standards and to maintain a level of clinical oversight. This supervision is essential for their training and professional development, as it allows for guided learning, feedback, and assessment of clinical competencies.

Understanding the unique requirements and standards applicable to different psychological roles is crucial for navigating the regulatory landscape effectively. Therefore, recognizing I/O Fellows as exempt highlights the distinctions within the field of psychology and the varying levels of oversight needed based on the nature of their work.
