Abstract

Portfolios have been heralded as an assessment method to enhance students' self-directed learning. This pilot study was done to better understand the nature of such issues from the perspective of four physicians who had completed a showcase portfolio requirement during their graduate medical training. The physicians were interviewed 1-2 years after completing the portfolio. Results from survey data and from content analysis of semi-structured interview responses suggest that a showcase portfolio tool may be most influential on physician's skills and abilities to critically analyze their own clinical performance.
