Training supervision as a separate faculty role

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.139.10.1339

Training supervision is a longitudinal, nonclinically focused personal relationship between a faculty member and a resident for exploring the latter's professional development. In the authors' program the training supervisor meets with the supervisee monthly over the 3-year residency. The training supervisor's role is that of a nonevaluative senior colleague who orients and advises the resident and systematically reviews training progress and problems. The authors discuss the evolution of the training supervision concept, explore potential role conflicts for the training supervisor, who may serve other functions in the residency of the supervisee, and present positive and negative resident and faculty evaluations of their program.
