Workshops
Basic and Advanced Workshops – Online
The Art of Supervising Trainees is a collection of five “basic” and three “advanced” workshops. These stand-alone workshops are offered online, free of charge. They were first introduced in French, as part of a training and research project led by the Consortium national de formation en santé (CNFS), an initiative supported by Health Canada. These workshops are intended for health professionals who wish to perfect their knowledge and improve their skills in supervising students.
We believe it is important to make these resources available to supervisors who welcome francophone and bilingual students in their settings across the country. Accordingly, the five basic workshops were translated and are now provided to anglophone supervisors, thereby promoting the delivery of health services in a patient’s own language.
