Being the last week of clinic....I'm sure we've all received feedback on how we've performed. Some of our supervisors may have even asked us for feedback as mine did.....
I personally haven't had a problem with the supervisor on the clinic.....the first week she really spoke very 'patronisingly' to us...to which I took offense...but then realised that's how she speaks to everyone - literally...so then I decided not to care. She also didn't ask us what we've done before or anything like that.....which again I didn't care...but the other student on prac with me did.
I was a little concerned giving her feedback.....as I think SOMETIMES it can be useful....SO when she asked for some feedback I just very politely let her know that with the GEMs it might be an idea to have a brief discussion of what we've done before.....to which she replied when she has had that discussion and people have told her what they've done or what skills they have....they've been 'full of shit' (direct quote). I really appreciated her honesty - and I think it's true that some of us are guilty of thinking we're the bees knees having held certain positions in our previous 'careers' if we got that far. So - just to let you know and also it's a word of warning not to be 'full of shit' as new grads...cos somehow, at sometime...they'll catch you!!

P.S. I was too scared to tell her she speaks to people in a very patronising manner!! but if she was my student I certainly would have! isn't the power difference great? M
