Orientation to GP Supervision Program

Discover, Learn, Grow.

In 2024, we partnered with women GPs to design resources to support and encourage more women to step into GP supervision roles – helping grow the next generation of GP supervisors.

Women GPs told us they wanted information to orient them to the role of GP supervision, map the supervisor career pathway, and hear stories from other women GP supervisors. This program is a response to that call, celebrating the unique role women GPs play in inspiring and empowering the next generation of women GPs supervisors.

The Orientation to Supervision Program

This multi-modal program comprises information sheets, video vignettes about GP supervision, and a webinar.
