Research Supervision Skills
Recorded on Monday, November 16, 2020“Scholarly Practice” is one of the four content pillars offered by the Program for Faculty Development at the Faculty of Health Sciences. As most learners are required to or develop interest in research and Quality Improvement (QI) projects, faculty members at the Waterloo Regional Campus are receiving increased demands from learners to design and conduct research/QI projects with the learners and provide research supervision. Even though we have 800 faculty members affiliated with the campus, only a small proportion conduct research as part of their professional portfolio. As such, we are in need of building research supervision capacity in our faculty. In the past, the only content we have offered in the “Scholarly Practice” pillar has been a review of clinical tools and databases for literature search, offered by the Health Sciences Library. It is high time that we proceed to equip our faculty members with additional scholarly skills.
