Abstract
Introduction/background:
Qualified health professionals in the NT contribute considerable amounts of professional skills and time to supervising and teaching learners in the workplace. The quality of this supervision impacts on the education
and preparedness of learners for their future roles as clinicians. Often, the supervising doctors, nurses and allied health professionals have little or no training in how to effectively teach others and there have been
calls for culture change in education, especially in the medical field (Watling, Ajjawi & Bearman, 2019). To address these issues, Flinders University Rural and Remote Health NT academics have offered subsidised, evidence-based, interprofessional training to clinical supervisors since 2012. Training modules are aligned with Levett-Jones and Lathlean’s (2009) Ascent to Competence Framework, emphasising safety, security and belonging i.e., culture, as foundational to the development of competent practitioners. Nursing and allied
health professionals form the majority of the participants at this training, with doctors rarely attending. Courses are popular and evaluations are positive, but are we “preaching to the choir”?
