    This study, conducted in Addis Ababa University, College of Health Sciences, Department of Medical Radiology Technology was designed to identify challenges faced by faculty and nonfaculty clinical supervisors in providing effective practical supervision of Radiology Technology students at CHS, AAU. The study aims to contribute possible recommendations and ideas for improvement of the quality of teaching at practicum sites. Qualitative research approaches were used. In this study a total 16 participants (9 Faculty supervisors and 7 Non-faculty supervisors) were selected through purposive sampling techniques and participated in the in-depth interviews. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis. The analysis of interview responses identified four main themes which form the focus of discussion: presence of supervisory guidelines and training, support from administrative bodies, appropriateness of clinical practical site, and commitment of clinical supervisors. The findings indicate that clinical supervision was given less attention than the theoretical academic curriculum. The outcomes of the study also draw attention to the concerned bodies on fulfillment of the necessary requirements for the faculty and non-faculty supervisors in order to obtain the benefits of clinical supervision.
