Purpose To develop a survey instrument designed to quantify supervision by attending physicians in nonprocedural care and to assess the instrument's feasibility and reliability. Method In 2008, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Academic Affiliations convened an expert panel to adopt a working definition of attending supervision in nonprocedural patient care and to construct a survey to quantify it. Feasibility was field-tested on residents and their supervising attending…

Data are consistent with the progressive independence hypothesis in graduate medical education and offer empirical support for the 4-part RSI method to quantify the intensity of resident supervision for research, program evaluation, and resident assessment purposes.
Supervision and autonomy of ophthalmology residents in the outpatient Clinic in the United States: a survey of ACGME-accredited programs
TLDR
The majority of ophthalmology resident training programs in the United States host a continuity clinic located in an urban environment where residents follow their own patients and most of these clinics require supervising faculty to review both the patients seen and the medical documentation created by the resident encounters.

The templated procedure note system with hard stops and integrated reporting can successfully be used to improve monitoring of resident supervision and has potential impact on resident education and patient safety.
Graduate Medical Education That Meets the Nation's Health Needs
TLDR
The extent to which the current system supports or creates barriers to producing a physician workforce ready to provide high-quality, patient-centered, and affordable health care is focused on and opportunities to maximize the leverage of federal funding toward these goals are identified.

TLDR
G-studies may help identify the type and magnitude of rater biases affecting resident-generated faculty supervision evaluations, and can be useful for interpreting their results, especially if personnel decisions rely on such measures.
What do attending physicians contribute in a house officer-based ambulatory continuity clinic?
TLDR
Attending physicians consistently underestimate their perceived contributions to house officer ambulatory teaching and may need to identify other teaching strategies for interactions with senior residents.
The Relationship of Residents' Autonomy and Use of a Teaching Hospital's Resources
TLDR
It is suggested that internal medicine residents have an inherently conservative practice style that values low‐intensity workups and rapid discharge of patients.
