1(1) Indirect Supervision. Whenever a license is placed on probation or otherwise restricted in such a manner as to require the respondent to practice under indirect supervision, the term indirect supervision does not require that the monitoring practitioner practice on the same premises as the respondent; however, the monitor shall practice within a reasonable geographic proximity to the respondent, which shall be within 20 miles unless otherwise authorized by the Board, and shall be readily available for consultation.
79(2) Direct Supervision. Whenever a license is placed on probation or otherwise restricted in such a manner as to require the respondent to practice under direct supervision, the term direct supervision requires that the respondent practice only if the supervisor is on the premises.
