45. Uri works at two fieldwork sites. He worked 20 hours at site A and 100 hours at site B. He accrued 1 supervision contact from Site A with 2% of his hours supervised (i.e., 0.5 hours) and 4 supervision contacts from Site B, with 3% of his hours supervised (i.e., 3 hours). He was only observed by his supervisor working with a client at Site B. a. Can Uri count combine his supervision accrued at Site A with Site B? (i.) No. (ii.) He must meet the supervision requirements independently for each site. b. What, if any hours, can Uri count toward his fieldwork experience? (i.) 60 hours. (ii.) He can only count hours from Site B. 3 hours of supervision = 5% of 60 hours, so Uri can only count 60 fieldwork hours from Site B.
