Can you be supervised remotely in Indiana?
Only partly. Some supervision or presence must be in person or on site. What shapes this: no video supervision, in-person minimum.
- Video supervision: Post-internship (HSPP) experience: at least 1 h/week individual face-to-face supervision provided on-site in the supervisor's office or a setting the supervisor is responsible for; the experience itself must be conducted there. Doctoral practicum route also requires weekly face-to-face supervision (1 h per 10 h on-site).
- Phone only: not allowed
- In-person minimum: all required weekly individual supervision (≥1 h/week) must be face-to-face on-site
- Supervisor licensed in Indiana? not required: HSPP licensed by Indiana, psychologist practising legally in Indiana under IC 25-33-1-14(a), or psychologist practising legally where the experience occurred
- Supervisor credential: None beyond license (HSPP-endorsed psychologist for Indiana experience)
