All registrars require a supervisor. The supervisor will be:
- A Fellow of RNZCUC (or other approved by Education Committee).
- Available to meet for formal supervision sessions totalling of at least 6 hours per year. Discussions will typically cover cases, your progress through the training programme, and any professional challenges you’re facing.
- Able to assist you with Core Skills List sign off, by either completing this themselves or helping you find appropriate Fellows or specialists.
- Able to supervise you.
- For registrars, this means:
- Working with you 6 hours per week in the same facility (or having formal approval from the Education Committee to delegate this activity).
- For senior registrars, this means working in the same facility or, with approval from Education Committee, able to offer guidance remotely.
- For registrars, this means:
We recommend reading the supervision policy, and finding your supervisor before starting your training programme.
Supervision agreement forms should be sent to the Training Programme Coordinator (alex@rnzcuc.org.nz) as soon as you commence the training programme.
Supervision report forms are required in September each year, completed and sent to the Training Programme Coordinator (alex@rnzcuc.org.nz).
A supervision meeting template is available here. You do not need to send this in, but should keep it as a record of activity.
