Abstract
Background: Research supervision is a task that requires a set of abilities and skills. Many academics begin research supervision as novices and develop their abilities and skills through experience over time.
Aim: We aim to provide advice about research supervision to prospective supervisors.
Methods: We used critical reflection of our experiences, including feedback received from students under supervision as well as advice from the literature to develop these tips.
Results: Twelve tips are presented to assist faculty with research supervision.
Conclusion: Research supervision is an important component of many medical academics' work. Beginning supervisors need to understand the dynamics and practicalities of supervision before they embark on this process.
