Abstract

Clinical supervision is a distinct domain of professional practice and is practiced globally. But the issues that affect its practice vary by country. This chapter focuses supervision's development and current status in the United States (US) and China. The Chinese professional community found competency-based supervision, taught by US based scholars and modified to address cultural demands and structural realities, to be a valuable framework for implementing strategic workforce development. China's experience and renovation provide a roadmap for furthering enhanced clinical practice of supervision in both the United States and China.
