BMS Teaching Seminar: Communicating Boundaries and Expectations in the Supervisory Relationship
Welcome to our Basic Medical Sciences Teaching Seminars!
Topic: Communicating Boundaries and Expectations in the Supervisory Relationship
Date: Tuesday, November 12, 2024
Time: 12:00-1:30 pm ET
Room: ACR (MS 2278)
Speakers: Aziza Kajan and Lauren Pais
Managing boundaries and expectations is integral to a successful graduate supervisory relationship. Knowing how, and when, to communicate what we expect from someone can help mitigate future misunderstandings. Establishing professional, academic, and personal boundaries and expectations helps the supervisory relationship feel more predictable, trustworthy, and consistent.
This workshop will be comprised of case studies and reflective group discussions; we gently request you attend with an openness to engage in group dialogue. We will also spend time highlighting interpersonal approaches and skills to help you establish boundaries and expectations within the supervisory relationship.
