Virtual care (VC) rapidly has become the preferred care model in family medicine settings during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Both residents and preceptors must rapidly adapt and develop new skills to provide and supervise virtual care. The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) created a VC supervision guide for family medicine residents and preceptors by quickly mobilizing a consensus driven approach leveraging existing CFPC educational committees, representing a broad range of teachers and residents in the country. The guide can be adapted to other settings and is provided in the hopes of being helpful to all preceptors providing VC and (virtual) supervision during the pandemic.

This chapter offers an empirical examination of supervisory behaviors perceived to be effective in a virtual office setting. The study presented in this chapter is driven by a general research question: What behaviors are perceived to be effective when managing individuals virtually? To address this research question, the authors collected data in a Midwestern government organization that recently transitioned its employees to virtual offices. They conducted interviews with, and distributed surveys to, managers and employees during and after the organization's transition to a virtual office. Based on the analysis, the authors present eight virtual supervision competencies and measures of these competencies adapted for, or developed in, this project. The competencies are trust, organizational identification, technology, buy-in, communication, evaluation, knowledge management, and hiring.

AbstractBackground: Supervision is an integral part of standard practice within Clinical Psychology. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, much of the UK’s population were required to work from home, leading to an increase in supervision being conducted via virtual platforms.Objective: To explore clinical health psychology staff members’ experiences of receiving supervision virtually. Method: A mixed-methods approach was adopted to explore 12 practitioners experience of remote supervision. This was completed online and consisted of the Supervisory Relationship Questionnaire and eight open-ended questions. Descriptive data were analysed using Microsoft Excel and qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Participant’s ratings of the supervisory relationship were high. Overall, practitioners found virtual supervision positive, but still preferred face to face supervision. Clinician’s reported that the pre-established relationship with supervisors was important and building a new supervisory relationship virtually was more challenging. Discussion: This study highlights the importance of monitoring supervisory relationships whilst supervision is delivered virtually. Recommendations made by participants for virtual supervision should be used to support this.
