What is required of the board when it decides to allow supervision of a restricted license?

When the board decides to allow supervision of a restricted license, it is essential for them to appoint a licensee who will provide that supervision. The requirement for appointing a supervisor is grounded in ensuring that the individual holding the restricted license receives appropriate guidance and oversight to practice safely and competently, adhering to the conditions set forth by the board. This supervision is a critical component of the rehabilitation or oversight process for someone who has a restricted license, aiming to protect the public while assisting the licensee's return to full practice.

While public documentation, immediate notification to the licensee, and providing a rationale for the supervision are important elements of transparency and due process, they are not the specific requirement that directly addresses the mechanism of supervision itself. The focus in this context is on the act of appointing a qualified licensee to ensure that the restrictions on practice are followed and that there’s a structured framework for the licensee’s development under supervision.
