Direct observation. A primer for supervisors of doctors in training

C Holmwood. Aust Fam Physician. 1998 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Direct observation and review of videorecordings of registrars in practice are valuable for learning clinical skills. They also engender an atmosphere of disclosure and professional honesty within the discipline of general practice. The theoretical background to direct observation, barriers to carrying it out, and strategies for enhancing the process are discussed.
