• coordinating the supervisory team (designated supervisor)
• orientating a registrar to the practice
• developing and monitoring a clinical supervision plan
• providing daily supervision
• developing an in-practice teaching plan
• providing regular uninterrupted teaching sessions
• giving regular feedback
• completing required assessments
• supporting and advocating for the registrar with the training site and the RACGP
• evaluating the education and supervision provided.
