.

(a) The Board shall not assume responsibility for establishing supervisory relationships.

(b) A specific plan of supervision must be filed by the supervisor and the supervisee for approval by the Board prior to any delivery of services by the supervisee. The plan shall be individualized for the supervisee, protect the public interest, and increase and/or maintain the supervisee's level of professional skills. A plan of supervision is not required if the supervision relationship was established prior to May 13, 2021.

(c) The plan of supervision must include the following:

(i) A clear definition of the area(s) of practice to be supervised, including the types of activities and the populations served.

(ii) The frequency and times of supervisory sessions and specific areas to be covered, i.e., individual/group psychotherapy, assessments, tests administered, etc., will be determined by the supervising Psychologist.

(iii) The plan shall be signed by both supervisor and supervisee.

(d) Exceptions or modifications to the plan shall be communicated to the Board within thirty (30) days.

(e) Should a supervisor and a supervisee have an unresolved disagreement regarding the plan of supervision, either party may initiate an appeal to the Board for resolution.

(f) The supervisor shall establish and maintain a level of supervisory contact consistent with professional standards, insuring the welfare of the public, and the ethical and legal protection of the supervision process.

(g) A minimum of 1 hour of face-to-face supervision per week for supervisee licensure applicants who have not previously held a psychology license. There may be special circumstances, e.g., geographical or confirmed physical hardship, when a jurisdiction may consider a variance in the frequency of the supervision sessions while keeping with the principle of 1 hour per week for 20 hours of client or patient contact.

(h) While the Board recognizes that the number of persons supervised by a given Psychologist may vary, the Board reserves the right to require documentation by the Psychologist of the adequacy of supervision when one Psychologist is supervising multiple licensed or certified professionals or applicants for licensure. This rule does not apply to University of Wyoming faculty supervising doctoral students.

(i) The Identity and role of the supervisor should be clearly documented, with the supervisor's signature, in the clinical record of each person served.

(j) The Board requires the supervisor to be reasonably aware of the professional skills, practices, ethics, and abilities of each person being supervised.

(k) Supervisors may only supervise those areas of practice in which they are competent by virtue of training and experience.

They shall not permit their supervisee to engage in any psychological practice that they cannot perform competently themselves. The supervisor has the responsibility to interrupt or terminate the supervisee's activities whenever necessary to ensure adequate training and the protection of the public. The supervisor must have at least 2 years of independent practice in the area in which they supervise to qualify as a supervisor and shall demonstrate adequate training, competence and skill to render competently any psychological services the supervisee undertakes. The Board may evaluate the qualifications of any supervisor and take appropriate action.

(n) Supervision sessions shall be documented giving dates, time spent, and nature of the contact with the supervisor.

(o) The supervisor shall allow the supervisee to perform only those functions for which the supervisee has training and experience.

(p) When the post-doctoral work experience occurs in Wyoming (i.e. Psychological Resident), a Supervision Agreement form provided by the Board shall be submitted by the supervisor to the Board specifying the nature of the supervision arrangements and the name, address and telephone number of the supervisor and supervisee. Any changes in the agreement must be submitted in writing within ten (10) days to the Board.
