Also in the rule

Florida’s rule says these too. TripleRoute does not count them for you, so keep your own record of each.

Group

Each hour of group supervision must alternate with an hour of individual supervision; individual means no more than two interns, group means more than two and at most six.

r. 64B4-2.002
Modality

Electronic face-to-face methods are allowed, but in-person contact for at least 50% of the required interactions, and one in-person meeting first; subsection (7) lets the supervisor go fully electronic on a judgement of necessity.

r. 64B4-2.002
Supervisor

A qualified supervisor holds an active Florida clinical social worker licence; or is licensed elsewhere and meets Florida's LCSW education and experience; or is a Florida LMFT or LMHC with nine semester hours of social work course work.

Fla. Admin. Code r. 64B4-11.007(1)
