Work-based learning and assessment is a complex and necessary part of physician training.
It is important for supervisors to understand the cycle of planning for learning and assessment, which includes fostering self-directed learning, making progress decisions on the trainee’s overall performance and evaluation of the trainee’s learning experience.
The challenges of undertaking work-based learning and assessment amidst the complexities of the healthcare environment are many and varied. This workshop offers techniques and solutions to these challenges that will help supervisors in their vital role.
We encourage anyone who is currently serving as a RACP/AFRM supervisor, new supervisors and those who have not previously attended a supervisor workshop to attend. Attendance can be counted towards your MyCPD program.
