Taught in tandem with Effective Clinical Teaching, this subject provides participants with a foundation in the principles and practices of vocational supervision that are unique to the health professions. Effective Clinical Supervision takes the theories and principles studied in the co-requisite subject and applies them to clinically-qualified learners who are further developing their career as a health professional. A diverse range of learning activities will dovetail with those provided in Effective Clinical Teaching to emphasise the similarities and differences between education and training. An intensive option will appeal to clinicians requiring greater flexibility.
Contact days will generally be held at the Parkville campus monthly (for 4 months) and will be shared equally with the corequisite subject. Modalities will include lectures (1 hour), seminars or symposia (1 hour) and small group work (2 hours).
