Finding and addressing weaknesses in GP supervisor professional development.

Background: The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners' Standards for general practice training require supervisor continuing professional development (PD) to meet the needs of the individual supervisors and develop the supervisory team.

Objective: The aim of this article is to explore current supervisor PD and consider how it might better meet the outcomes described in the standards.

Discussion: General practitioner supervisor PD delivered by regional training organisations (RTOs) continues to operate without a national curriculum.
