Helping supervisors step into the educator's role.

ABSTRACT

Supervisors who lack the skills of the educator rarely visualize training as an integral part of their jobs. Consequently, new employees suffer from poor instruction and supervisors miss out on a potentially rewarding aspect of their duties. Seeking to remedy this situation, the University of Texas Medical Branch Department of Sterile Processing and Central Supply and the Personnel Office tailored a train-the-trainer program to meet the specific needs of their supervisors.
