Effective supervision is critical for the development of trainee skill sets, yet many supervisors lack explicit training in delivering feedback and facilitating collaborative problem-solving.

Deficits in these skills may negatively impact both trainee progress and the overall quality of the supervisory relationship. In this webinar, participants will explore the essentials of providing effective feedback and addressing common supervision challenges through collaborative problem-solving. Through the use of practical, evidence-based tools, supervisors will learn to lay the foundation for strong, supportive relationships that promote trainee success, professional growth, and a mutually rewarding supervision experience.

Participants in this webinar will learn to:

  1. Use practical and effective bi-directional feedback strategies to enhance trainee skill development
  2. Foster a relationship that encourages open communication and constructive and collaborative problem-solving
  3. Engage in self-reflection to assess personal supervisory practices and develop a plan for ongoing professional development in feedback and problem-solving skills.
