Objective. To conduct a review of the pharmacy literature on the use of portfolios in US pharmacy schools.Findings. This study provides examples of how pharmacy schools are using portfolios in various parts and across their curricula, however, assessment/outcome data is lacking. These examples can be used as a starting point for schools as they begin to design their own use of portfolios. Overall, students indicated that the use of portfolios is important in their professional development, but significant time is needed to complete. Summary. Things to consider when implementing a portfolio system include how it will be used, who will review it, and what resources will be needed to sustain the project. It is important for schools to consider these items at the start of the process to ensure the portfolio process that is created is useful for assessing the overall programmatic or course outcomes being proposed by their use. More scholarly work needs to be published on the use of portfolios.

“…9 In academia, e-portfolios are emerging as standard curricular components for health professions students in many undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate programs, including pharmacy. [10][11][12][13][14][15] The objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of using a Web-based assessment of information derived from an electronic drug and therapeutic knowledge resource to systematically document continuing education activities and reveal educational needs among practicing pharmacists, with the potential for this information to be captured as part of an e-portfolio for pharmacy professional development. e-Therapeutics1 is an online electronic knowledge resource intended to provide Canadian health care practitioners with evidence-based, reliable drug and therapeutic information.…”

Objective. To assess the use of an electronic knowledge resource to document continuing education activities and reveal educational needs of practicing pharmacists. Methods. Over a 38-week period, 67 e-mails were sent to 6,500 Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA) members. Each e-mail contained a link to an e-Therapeutics1 Highlight, a factual excerpt of selected content from an online drug and therapeutic knowledge resource. Participants were then prompted to complete a pop-up questionnaire. Results. Members completed 4,140 questionnaires. Participants attributed the information they learned in the Highlights to practice improvements (50.4%), learning (57.0%), and motivation to learn more (57.4%). Conclusions. Reading Highlight excerpts and completing Web-based questionnaires is an effective method of continuing education that could be easily documented and tracked, making it an effective tool for use with e-portfolios.
