SUPERVISORY ASPECTS Sample Clauses

SUPERVISORY ASPECTS. It is recommended that a practising CQMP with at least 5 years’ experience in hospital-based independent practice should supervise the overall programme. A maximum ratio of residents (interns or trainees) to CQMP staff of 2:1 (taking into account the workload of the facility and additional numbers of practising CQMPs) was also recommended. However, in case of limited resources, this ratio could be exceeded under the responsibility of the supervisor. In addition, suitably qualified mentors may facilitate the clinical training and assist the resident in accomplishing the various facets of the programme. The clinical supervisor(s) are responsible for ensuring that the resident is trained in all aspects of the nationally-accredited medical imaging physics clinical training programme. This may require that the resident is placed at other institutions (nationally and regionally) to receive the full spectrum of exposure to all modalities, techniques and technologies. The supervisor(s) should meet regularly with the resident to discuss progress (including reviewing deadlines) and to provide adequate supportive and corrective feedback to the resident, such as the level of competency attained and competency achievements which have fallen behind. The resident’s clinical training skills, reports and performance should be monitored, reviewed, assessed and documented in the portfolio according to the standards required of the accredited programme.
