Why are we here?What’s the purpose of having a portfolio,
anyway?
“”
Nine tenths at least… becomes worthless and of no interest within ten years…
Who said this about medical knowledge?
Answer: John Shaw Billings, who created the Index Medicus. He described medical information going stale - in 1887.
“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.’’
Heraclitus
Portfolios help capture change over time.
They can show growth –as a person -as a professional -and as a scholar.
The true physician never graduates… he simply transfers from Harvard, Yale, UCSF, or wherever… into a new and personalized ‘medical school’. In this self-created medical school, he…will be both a faculty member and student. - L.H. Smith, 1985
A portfolio is not a diary.Reflection ensures a portfolio is more than a collection of memories.
Reflection•Not an eyewitness account, as a journalist
might write it.• Instead, you consider what your views are
about your actions.•Reflection should be something that you can
apply to your work, your learning, yourself.
Two Kinds of Reflection:Reflection in Action•We are thinking in the
moment.•What existing
knowledge or experience will help us right now?
Reflection on Action•We think back about our past
actions.•How can our practice
change, considering what we did before?
