ABSTRACT
Clinical supervision (CS) is considered a crucial component in the development of health professionals and the delivery of effective services across disciplines and nationalities. However, collaboration efforts across disciplines and geographies remain limited. In the present autoethnographic study of developing the Clinical Supervision Connection podcast, the authors seek to elucidate ways to support connections across boundaries with the aim of mobilizing clinical supervision knowledge. Finding our cohesive identity, producing the podcast the labor, nurturing motivation, showing up, and finding our rhythm emerged as themes present in the collaborative processes which mirrors effective clinical supervision practice. Future directions for CS interdisciplinary and cross-national collaboration research are explored.
