Training & Support

Supervisor Training:

There are a series of short, educational videos (the “Supervisor Training Modules”) which provide useful information on the Prevocational Framework for Medical Training and the role of supervisors.

It is a requirement for all term supervisors to complete all of the Supervisor Training Modules, and strongly recommended for all other supervisors.

How do I access the Supervisor Training?

The 6 modules are available on the WA Health Learning Management System. Search “Framework”, “Prevocational” or ‘Supervisor’ and select “Supervisor training modules (the National Framework for Prevocational Medical Training).”

Your health site may also run in person sessions. Please get in touch with your local medical education team.

Following completion of the Supervisor Training Modules, a certificate will be provided by your employer or downloaded via your Learning Management System. This training will be recognised nationally.
