E-portfolios for doctors

The e-portfolio is an electronic tool for doctors to store and record a collection of evidence that demonstrates their learning achievements and abilities.

It promotes life-long learning by encouraging doctors to reflect on their own needs and clinical competences, and the needs of their patients.

An e-portfolio can help you to:

  • keep documents together to evidence your progress and learning
  • reflect on your learning (very important - see section below on reflecting)
  • think about your personal development plan (PDP), encouraging you to think about what you need to do next to help you progress in your career
  • prepare for an interview
  • develop your CV

Reflecting

Reflecting on your learning may be quite new to you so you may find the Academy and COPMeD reflective practice toolkit helpful.
