Essential Guide to Educational Supervision in Postgraduate Medical Education

The world of postgraduate medical education is changing, and
educational supervisors need the knowledge and skills to be able to
do their job effectively. Many of those who want to do this job
well feel unprepared for the task.

Essential Guide to Educational Supervision is a handbook
for educational supervisors everywhere. The topics covered are
generic to medical education, whatever the specialty. Although the
focus is on postgraduate medical education, many of the topics in
this book are also applicable to undergraduates.

Essential Guide to Educational Supervision is written
for:

• • Consultants and General Practitioners who work with
    trainees

• Educational supervisors

• People who organise postgraduate training programmes

Written by experts in their field, each chapter gives an
overview of key topics in educational supervision with references
and further resources. The book provides evidence and theory when
applicable, but is deliberately practical, with case studies and
tips for good practice as well.
