What are my ethical responsibilities in mentoring clinical fellows and supervising student clinicians?
Under ASHA’s Code of Ethics, members providing supervision must hold ASHA Certification in the area of their supervisory work. School-based members may be directed by their administrators to comply with requirements that conflict with ASHA standards.
