Developing Effective Supervisors of Teaching Rounds: Consensus, Entrustment and Deliberate Practice.

Abstract

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education considers developing residents into effective clinical supervisors as a critical area in residency training. 1 Edgar L Sydney McLean C Sean Hogan MO et al. The Milestones Guidebook. Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education; Published online, 2020: 1-41https://www.acgme.org/What-We-Do/Accreditation/Milestones/Resources Google Scholar Defining and assessing optimal resident performance as clinical supervisors must consider competence in patient safety and quality care, as well as residents’ roles in educating other physician trainees in these same domains. In “Using the Modified Delphi Method to Develop a Tool to Assess Pediatric Residents Supervising on Inpatient Rounds,” we generated consensus on essential supervisory behaviors demonstrated by pediatric residents leading inpatient teaching rounds. This consensus serves as a checklist for training and assessing residents in the realm of clinical supervision. 2 Miller KA Collada B Tolliver D et al.

We also offer recommendations on applications of our checklist and similar tools.
