Table 5.

Interdependence during training and practice

1	I do things on my own at the expense of many patients not making it. It's painful and frustrating. You constantly think about the patient … Main teacher but only showed me one when I assisted and I was expected to do on my own. Never performed under supervision.	MO
2	Yes, I teach new ACs or MOs who are just starting. We give a surgical orientation because internship is not enough training for them to know how to do surgery. We even teach COs to do surgery. I was taught by a CO.	AC
3	In the old days, it was only me and one other AC doing procedures. We teach others so we don't have to work as hard.	MO

MO, medical officer; AC, associate clinician; CO, clinical officer.
