Goals of Supervision • assuring the provision of safe and effective care to the individual patient • assuring each trainee’s development of the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required to enter the unsupervised practice of medicine • establishing a foundation for continued professional growth

Supervision CLEARLY MORE THAN JUST “SEE ONE, DO ONE, TEACH ONE”
Questions to consider • What milestones, competencies, or criteria will we use to evaluate trainees performance and subsequent ability to progress to a more independent mode of practice? To become supervisors themselves? • How will we document this for each patient care setting? • How will we monitor this?
