Professional Boundaries in Healthcare 210: Buddy and Supervisor Evaluations

Course overview

*Describe the purpose and structure of the Buddy/Supervisor Evaluation and explain how external feedback addresses blind spots that self-assessment cannot detect. *Distinguish between a buddy arrangement and formal professional supervision, and identify the appropriate use of each in ongoing practice evaluation. *Apply the Buddy/Supervisor Questionnaire to assess provider and staff behaviors, attitudes, and touch practices for signs of boundary risk. *Analyze questionnaire results by organizing findings into categories including provider attributes, staff behaviors, and office procedures to identify problematic patterns. *Communicate evaluation findings constructively using neutral, professional language that encourages behavioral change without triggering defensiveness.
