North Carolina rules require 45 contact hours of continuing education in clinical supervision but do not list required content areas. Because 21 NCAC 53 .0801(b) requires LCMHCS supervisors to follow the CCE Approved Clinical Supervisor code of ethics, this course is organized around the ten content areas in the CCE Approved Clinical Supervisor Eligibility Policy. Each lesson hour is assigned to one area, so no hour is counted twice.
