Educational supervisor toolkit
Effective supervision of surgical trainees builds confidence, accelerates learning, and promotes a culture of safety and collaboration that ultimately improves patient care.
This educational supervisor toolkit is a free, online resource portfolio of evidence-based resources and quick reference guides that will help you to support your trainees effectively and compassionately through a variety of situations and circumstances.
You will learn how to navigate specific trainee challenges, such as overwhelm and burnout and returning to work after time away, and gain proven strategies for meaningful and supportive communication.
Whether you want to address a specific issue or build your supervisory skills gradually, this evolving one-stop shop will help you strengthen your awareness, enhance your knowledge, and build relationships with your trainees that are rooted in trust and mutual respect.
The educational supervisor toolkit complements our Excellence in Surgical Supervision (ESS) course.
