Attributes of a good clinical supervisor

This module provides supervisors with an opportunity to reflect on their role as a clinical supervisor and improve their supervisory skills.

Providing feedback

This module is designed to enhance the supervisor's ability to effectively and efficiently assess students (formative and summative) within their professional placement setting. The lesson is divided into two sub-modules:

Routine feedback sub-module: introduces frameworks and tools that could be used to provide effective feedback to the students
Safety sub-module: provides help with dealing with non-routine, challenging situations - in particular, the safety of the patient being placed at risk due to the actions of the student.

This module was an adaptation of UNSW Medicine & Primary Care and is no longer available.
