Hey guys,
So as part of my new gig, my boss is having me supervise a relatively new NP who is struggling more directly than NPs and PAs typically are supervised in my practice. As a recent residency graduate, teaching is not my strong suit. I tend to be sort of directive in my style ("this is what I typically do" or "I agree with that plan") and I'm not great at, say, coming up with on the spot articles that I reference. I also sometimes struggle to articulate feedback, for example one pa always comes to me and asks for advice when she hasn't even seen the patient and I have been meaning to tell her not to do that but keep forgetting to in the moment.
I guess I just wanted to vent that supervising or teaching makes me nervous, but does anyone have any good tips for teaching mid levels on the spot?
