What is the maximum number of supervisees a single supervisor may supervise concurrently on the Pennsylvania Psychology Board?

• A. Two
• B. Four
• C. Five
• D. Three

Answer: (D)

Supervision load is limited to ensure each supervisee gets solid, hands-on guidance. In Pennsylvania, one supervisor may oversee up to three supervisees at the same time. This cap helps the supervisor dedicate sufficient time to review cases, provide direct feedback, monitor ethical practice, and ensure that supervision requirements are actually met. When the number stays at or below this limit, the quality of oversight remains high and client safety is better protected. Allowing more than three would dilute the supervisor’s ability to give everyone thorough attention and timely guidance, which is why the maximum is three.
