-Context and problematic:When being supervised in clinical settings, learners benefit from adopting certain attitudes and cognitions allowing them to get the most out of learning opportunities. This constitutes a "learning position" in which evaluation is perceived primarily as formative and integrated into the normal physician training stream. Methods: Over the years, various practical exercises have been conducted during workshops, broadening knowledge about the elements that facilitate the learning position and about definite strategies for attaining it. Specific examples of this are learning strategies and potential impediments. Results: Integrating systematically a workshop on this topic into the curriculum for postgraduate training in family medicine and frequently referring to the concept during clinical supervision are concrete outcomes of this work. This action research also made it possible to confirm that the open, nurturing character of interactions between supervisor and supervisee facilitate the adoption of a learning position, allowing the learner to perceive his gradual progress and to bolster his feeling of competency. Conclusion: The learner and supervisor jointly share responsibility for bringing these facilitating conditions together.Article publié par EDP Sciences 194 M. Giroux et G. Girard
