Abstract
Medical trainees or junior doctors within the United Kingdom, regardless of their level of training or specialty, are assigned an educational supervisor (ES). The General Medical Council within the United Kingdom defines an ES as "a trainer who is selected and appropriately trained to be responsible for the overall supervision and management of a specified trainee's educational progress during a clinical placement or series of placements." This article critically evaluates the current literature to explore the roles of the ES in supporting and monitoring a trainee's progress while discussing challenges associated with the role. Through clearer delineation of the role of an ES, barriers to improving training can be identified and overcome, thus improving overall satisfaction with training.
