Supervisors	The roles of IDP Supervisor and IDP Mentor should be filled by two separate individuals. While the supervisor can also be the mentor it is not recommended. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to verify training. In supervising an IDP intern-architect the supervisor is acting as an agent of the state (via MA registration Board). >> 2004 Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct
