Query: Medical School ePortfolios


Virginia Commonwealth University is interested in learning more about ePortfolios for their medical school.  Does anyone have any suggestions for who to contact for more information? (2/09)

The UM medical school is designing and developing LMS/eportfolio solutions for an initiative known as ENCORE that promises to be very exciting.


 

There is also some good work using eportfolios in medical schools in the UK. Two places to start are University of Manchester and University of Newcastle.


 

ePortfolio vendor Digication also has examples to share.


Mary Armitage and Kirstyn Shaw of the Royal College of Physicians of London have written on using ePortfolios for specialist recertification. CLINICIAN IN MANAGEMENT 15: 55–60 #2007 RADCLIFFE PUBLISHING


Sarah Stewart, a midwife and PhD candidate in New Zealand, has an interesting blog related to ePortfolios for health professionals: http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2009/02/eportfolios-for-health-professionals.html.
