Working as a polar researcher affords me a great opportunity to develop and use my capabilities in science, teaching, teamwork, and creativity.
Three of these concerned the development of teamwork, one of the key generic capabilities that represent the UNSW Medicine core.
Hospital-based supervisors rated new program graduates highest for the teamwork, reflective practice, and effective communication capabilities with 60.8%, 51% and 48.6% of graduates rated 'clearly above expected level' respectively.
Other factors instrumental for empowerment include a low-hierarchy organization, a teamwork oriented approach within a practice, sufficient capabilities and a management which creates opportunities [ 31].
