What is the maximum number of interns that a licensee can supervise at one time?

In Washington, the law stipulates that a licensed funeral director can supervise a maximum of three interns at any given time. This regulation is in place to ensure that the interns receive adequate training and oversight. The supervision of interns is a critical aspect of their professional development, allowing them to gain practical experience under the guidance of an experienced and licensed professional. Having a limit on the number of interns helps maintain a manageable workload for the supervising director, ensuring that each intern receives the attention and instruction necessary to develop their skills effectively. This also helps uphold the quality of training within the profession, ultimately benefiting both the interns and the funeral service industry as a whole.
