What makes an effective clinical supervisor? The A-rated clinical supervisor • Available • Approachable • Able (as both clinician and teacher) • Active (finds the gaps)
Effective Clinical Supervision • It is important that the supervisor does not project to the student that supervision is a burden • The quality of the relationship between the supervisor and the supervisee is the most important factor of effective supervision (Kilminster and Jolly, 2000)
Prior to student arriving • Awareness of requirements • Administrative • Educational • Effect of current workload
When supervision commences • Welcome! • Orientation • Getting to know your learner • prior experiences, interests, expectations, learning style, preferred feedback method • Let your learner know about you • Experience and expectations
Learning Objective • A description of what the student will be able to do • The conditions under which the student will perform the task • The criteria for evaluating student performance
To be useful, learning objectives should be SMART: S pecificM easurableA ttainableR esults-FocusedT ime-Focused
Learning Objectives How? • Be clear about the university’s/educational institution’s expectations of the placement/learning outcomes • Find out what the student wants/expects • Be clear and specific about what the placement and the supervisor can offer • Develop a plan that balances these three aspects • Use the framework provided by the university/educational institution
Example By the end of week 3 of the placement, the student will be able to independently carry out an initial patient interview, including gaining details of the patient’s financial status
Steps to achievement Week 1 – watch an interview conducted by supervisor, discuss and debrief afterward Week 2 – identify suitable patient/client, read history, discuss with supervisor, carry out interview with assistance, discuss and debrief afterward Week 3 – carry out interview independently
