HOW TO ATTAIN IMPROVED SUPERVISION FOR RESIDENTS IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE

Introduction and objectives: In order to be able to support our supervisors in our primary health care clinics in their daily training of residents we have investigated residents and supervisors expectations on each other. The result of our study will be used to design education for supervisors in our area and analyze the responsibility of different stakeholders in the educational situation. Method: We have used the Delhi method where residents and supervisors separately had to answer two questions. A. What elements should be included in good tutoring? B. What elements do you think your supervisor/ you as a supervisor need to improve? The answers were assorted into areas of content and sent out once again for priority of importance. The result is presented as two listings from each group with the answers to question A and B. Result and conclusion: The results indicate that both residents and supervisors stress their sheltered supervision time, medical and professional guidance and instruction in daily work, structured guidance, mutual feedback and structured assessment . The supervisors wish to participate in supervisory networks, to learn more about the structure of specialty training, assessment methods and consultation training. Both groups see the need for updated medical knowledge of the supervisory group. The opinions of the residents and their supervisors will be used in tailored educational programs and regional instructions for supervision. The goal is to complete this during 2016 in the network of Directors of Clinical Education in Region Västra Götaland
