PCB CADC Application | www.pacertboard.org | info@pacertboard.org | Revised January 2021
Supervision is a formal or informal process that is evaluative, clinical, educative, and supportive. It ensures
quality of clinical care and extends over time. Supervision includes observation, mentoring, coaching, evaluating,
inspiring, and creating an atmosphere that promotes self-motivation, learning, and professional development. In
all aspects of the supervision process, ethical and diversity issues must be in the forefront.
PCB has no requirements for who provides clinical supervision. The person providing clinical supervision is at
the discretion of the agency and DDAP staffing requirements.
Clinical supervision can be provided in an individual, one-on-one setting and/or observation of skills or group
supervision setting.
Clinical supervision can be provided by more than one supervisor. In this case, provide a copy of page 11 of this
application to all the supervisors documenting supervision on your behalf.
