The purpose of this article is to identif y and describe four essential skills for effective supervision of family therapy trainees in primary care medical settings. The supervision skills described include: (1) Understand medical culture; (2) Locate the trainee in the treatment system; (3) Investigate the biological/health issues; and (4) Be attentive to the self‐of‐the‐therapist. Recommendations are also made to help supervisors become better prepared for the questions medical family therapy trainees bring to supervision.
