Abstract:
Engagement with being a doctor is not an automatic qualification for being a good supervisor. But engagement with being a teacher is linked to a better evaluation as supervisor by trainees. Different personality traits are related to these different roles. Engagement is not only influenced by personality traits, however. The work environment can have a positive effect on engagement as well. If there are proper job resources that support the teacher's role, engagement with being a teacher will increase. In addition to proper teaching resources, supervisors also need training. It is important that supervisors get used to lifelong learning, just as doctors have to. Teaching competencies should be part of medical training. This might help to shape a working environment that is well equipped for teaching.
