Senior Faculty - Supporting Diverse Learners
what does this course cover?
A resident diagnosed with ADHD last year, a doctor who trained in a system that never used workplace-based assessment, a trainee whose health needs the rota cannot flex around. Three supervisors, all asking you what to do.
The senior role here is building the department’s capacity to support these learners, not absorbing every case yourself. Practical strategies you can use and pass on.
Learning outcomes:
- Recognise how neurodiversity, overseas training and complex health or personal needs each change what a learner needs from supervision and training.
- Advise supervisors on reasonable adjustments and separate what the department can flex from what belongs with occupational health or the deanery.
- Support doctors who trained in other systems through the assumptions UK training makes but never states, from feedback culture to portfolio evidence.
- Examine the assumptions built into your department’s supervision model, then build faculty capability so support does not depend on which supervisor a learner is allocated.
