Supervision (S)
Chair of Supervision
The optimal clinical learning environment provides all members of the clinical care
team and patients with mechanisms to raise supervision concerns. It also continuously
monitors resident and fellow supervision to implement actions that enhance patient
safety. For each resident and fellow, GME encompasses progressive levels of supervision
throughout the educational program.
