Assessment supervision during COVID-19 and beyond: Trainee perspectives on the supervision of teleassessment

Due to COVID-19, there has been a rapid shift toward the remote administration of psychological assessments, or teleassessment. Guidelines have been published by the American Psychological Association regarding best practices for teleassessment administration, yet there is limited guidance for the clinical supervision of trainees. Quality supervision is a core competency of health service psychologists, and critical to the professional development of practitioners, as well as the protection of patients. This article reviews the extant literature on teleassessment and makes practice-informed recommendations to enhance the supervision of teleassessment administration. Implications for training in teleassessment during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the development of clinical training competencies in teleassessment are considered.
