No, CRPO does not currently approve clinical supervisors or grant the designation of “supervisor” or “clinical supervisor”. RPs should not use titles such as “CRPO-approved supervisor”, “CRPO clinical supervisor”, or “RP-S”.
If you want to become a supervisor, you can begin providing clinical supervision once you meet the requirements. The requirements are listed on the Supervision page linked in Related Resources below. You do not need to contact CRPO for approval to provide clinical supervision.
CRPO does not currently approve or accredit supervision training. Supervision training programs should not say they are CRPO-approved. If you are selecting training in providing supervision, please see the guidance relating to directed learning activities and our FAQ regarding clinical supervisor training activities linked in Related Resources below.
