Abstract

ABSTRACT: Interprofessional supervision, when the supervisor and supervisee belong to different professions, is a break from traditional supervision practice. A qualitative study of the interprofessional supervision practice of 29 experienced supervisors and supervisees identified five components of interprofessional supervision: ideal prerequisites, qualities, relationship, the supervision session, and other professional relationships. Reports of interprofessional supervision practice were considered alongside recordings of actual supervision sessions. From this data, and in collaboration with the participants, a map was developed to guide effective interprofessional supervision practice. When chosen by the supervisee, interprofessional supervision strengthened professional identity and provided a catalyst for new ways of working.
