| Summary: | An occupational therapy program at a research institution in the Midwest offers a student-run outpatient stroke clinic to prepare learners for the student-to-clinician transition. Notably, the students practice peer supervision in which participants with roughly the same level of training monitor, evaluate, and support one another. This project details the development of <em>The Critical Friend</em>, an evidence-based peer supervision training program implemented in a student-run occupational therapy clinic. The ADDIE Model of Instructional Design, which classifies five phases of instruction implementation (analyze, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) was utilized to translate research knowledge into a learning deliverable. This paper focuses on the design, development, and implementation phases of <em>The Critical Friend</em>. In the design phase, data from a scoping review on peer supervision and a focus group with key stakeholders informed learning objectives and instructional strategies. In the development phase the <em>Webinar Integration Tool</em> was used to select a learning management system. In the implementation phase, <em>The Critical Friend</em> was embedded in the existent coursework associated with the student-run clinic in the form of three e-learning modules. The e-modules focused on feedback, guided discovery, and professionalism. Each provided a series of actionable steps for both supervisors and supervisees to effectively navigate a peer supervision relationship.
