Description
Educational supervisors are typically the first tier of career support for trainee doctors, as you are most likely to be able to take a more informed and constructive role about a particular trainee doctors strengths and weaknesses.
It is not expected that you will be an expert across the whole range of medical careers, instead you will be expected to be able to direct trainee doctors to appropriate resources, so that they can begin to access the information that they need in order to decide whether that particular option might suit them. This programme will help Educational Supervisors to understand their role and differentiate it from that of the Clinical Supervisor, and utilise practical help so their trainees can achieve their potential
