Supervisor Workshop (SPDP)

The Supervisor Professional Development Program (SPDP) is a high-quality training program for final year Advanced Trainees and Fellows who supervise trainees in RACP-accredited positions. SPDP 1, 2 and 3 can be completed in any order. You'll be an RACP-approved supervisor (previously 'accredited supervisor') when you've completed all 3 workshops. 

The RACP will offer two Supervisor training workshops in conjunction with the the IMSANZ Conference, Manly 2022 and will be hosted in-person only. 

Wednesday, 7 September 2022 (pre conference day concurrent with other workshops)

Morning Workshop - 10am to 1pm | SPDP 2 - Learning Environment and Culture

Afternoon Workshop - 2pm - 5pm | SPDP 3 - Teaching and Facilitating Learning for Safe Practice

To be an RACP Approved Supervisor:

• All DPEs, Training Program Directors, Advanced Training (AT) Supervisors and Education Supervisors must complete SPDP 3 by end of 2022.
• All DPEs, Training Program Directors, AT Supervisors and Education Supervisors must complete (or be exempt from) SPDP 1 and 2 by end of 2022 or in line with their site accreditation cycle (whichever occurs later).
• Rotational Supervisors (RS) / Ward Service Assistants (WSA) are only required to complete SPDP 3 (non-member RS/WSA are encouraged to complete SPDP 3 but there is no requirement).
  

After completing the SPDP 3 workshop and prior to achieving Approved status, supervisors will be referred to as Provisionally Approved.

SPDP is considered a "Category 2: Reviewing Performance" activity in the 2021 MyCPD Framework.
MyCPD participants will earn 3 CPD credits per hour.
