| What do supervisory clinical psychologists do?How are they different from regular clinical psychologists?
I know what clinical psychologists do, but I want to know the difference between them.
Is supervisory just a level higher? Or do they do something else? etc.
I know jobs, and what you do, I don't need that information.
