RCP Educational Supervisor accreditation

Venue: Royal College of Physicians
Location: London

New!

Educational Supervisors are responsible for the overall supervision and management of a trainee’s educational progress. The RCP has developed a new training and accreditation process which will give formal recognition to doctors who are Educational Supervisors, and which meets the GMC's requirements as set out in their ‘Standards for Trainers’.

To achieve the award of ‘RCP Educational Supervisor’, delegates will attend a 2-day workshop, which covers key aspects of educational supervision, and then submit an assignment which is based on their own supervisory practice. This accreditation is suitable for doctors who are supervising trainees of any grade and specialty.

Workshop

The two-day workshop will address the role and responsibilities of the educational supervisor as set out in the Gold Guide, and will include the following: 

• Essential knowledge and skills for Educational Supervisor
• How to make best use of the curriculum & e-portfolio to support your trainees
• Objective setting; helping your trainees to set clear goals
• The effective appraisal process
• Giving effective feedback to trainees
• Supporting underperforming trainees
• Role of ARCP and Supervisor’s report

Assessment

The assignment is a short, structured reflective report relating to an appraisal meeting which the educational supervisor has conducted, following attendance at the workshop. The assessment criteria will be clearly laid out and the submitted assignment will need to demonstrate evidence that these criteria have been met. Details of the assignment will be explained fully during the workshop.

Audience:

Educational Supervisors from all specialties or doctors who will become Educational Supervisors in the near future
