<!--stripped--><b><span style="font-size: 10pt">Background: </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt">Clinical
supervision is an important factor in the development of competency in residency
program. Attending physicians play a key role in supervision of residents.
However little is known about how attending physicians and residents perceive
the quality of clinical supervision. The aim of this study was to explore the
differences between perceived qualities of supervision in these two groups in
different wards in teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran.<o:p /></span></p>
<!--stripped--><b><span style="font-size: 10pt"> Methods</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt">: A valid questionnaire were completed by 219
attending physicians and residents from
surgery, psychiatry, gynecology, pediatrics, internal medicine, orthopedics and
radiology wards in two teaching hospital affiliated to Iran University of
Medical Sciences. This questionnaire contained 15 items in regards to
supervisory roles, rated on a five point Likert scale (1=never, 2=seldom,
3=sometimes, 4=often, 5=always). <o:p /></span></p>
<!--stripped--><b><span style="font-size: 10pt"> Results</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt">: Out of 219 participants, 90 (41%) were attending
physicians and 129 (59%) were residents. The overall mean±SD scores of
perceived clinical supervision achieved by attending physicians and residents
were respectively, 4.20±0.5 and 3.00±0.7 which was statistically significant
(p<0.05). Attending physicians and residents acquired minimum scores
(mean=4.06 and 2.7, respectively) regarding expectation from their supervisor
to know and do during training period of residency. <o:p /></span></p>
<b><span style="font-size: 10pt font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif"> Conclusion</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif">: It seems that the clinical supervisory does not
have an efficient performance in teaching hospitals which needs to be more
assessed and improved. Therefore it is suggested that policymakers in medical
education system pay more attention to this important issue and enhance some
faculty development programs for clinical educators in Iran</span>
