Adapted from Falender et al., 2004, p778<br />
Based on the micro-skills outlined in competency number six, assessment of<br />
supervisor competencies, evaluation of clinical supervision should ideally incorporate<br />
the following elements:<br />
• Certificate of completion of some form of continuing professional education<br />
(e.g., course, workshop) in clinical supervision<br />
• Documentation that the supervisor has had supervision that focuses on his or her<br />
role as supervisor, and recommendations (with follow-up and development plan)<br />
