Orientation to GP Supervision

Orientation to GP supervision for women supervisors

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.

Women GPs asked for clear, practical guidance on becoming GP supervisors — and we listened. Our downloadable information sheets map out the pathway to supervision and offer practical insights into roles, responsibilities, benefits, and payments. Start your supervision journey here.
