Direct versus indirect supervision of fellows covering football events: a survey of fellows and program directors.

Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) program requirements mandate "adequate supervision," of residents, but there is little guidance for sports medicine fellowship directors regarding the transition from direct to indirect supervision of fellows covering football games.

Objective: We sought to gather evidence of current supervision practices in the context of injury outcomes.

Methods: Fellows and program directors of ACGME-accredited sports medicine fellowship programs were invited to complete an online survey regarding their experience and current supervision practice at football games.
