being a supervisor
The other day I was thinking about if I would be a good supervisor or not because Im sure one day I will eventually have to supervise students or other physios. On my placements I have recognised the good and the not so good things about my supervisors and what I would do differently if I were in their position. I would definatly want to make the student feel welcome and a part of the team and to gain a good rapport with them. I spose in saying all this, not only has our placements developed our knowledge and clinical skills, on a deeper level its made us unintentionally learn other skills like supervision simply from our good and bad experiences of our relationships we have with our supervisors. I hope that makes sense??

This is definately true- through the helpful and not so helpful supervisors I have had this year I hope that I've gained an insight as to how to interact with students. Funnily, I talked to my last supervisor about how her response to being a supervisor- and she found it challenging knowing how much or how little independence to give to students, especially as the weeks went on. I definately think that curtins clinical tutors to some degree need to have a session in what type of guidance we need and basic refresher courses on where our clinical knowledge is compared to theirs!
