STEP - Supervision

Clinical electives are supervised by the program coordinator at each site. Clinical mentoring is provided by on-site staff, including medical officers and clinical officers, as well as by residents on elective when appropriate.

Research electives include remote and direct supervision. Off-site staff are available through e-mail and conference calls, and may be available for face-to-face discussions at the learner's home institution before and after the elective.
