To identify the prevalence of portfolio use in US pharmacy programs, common components of portfolios, and advantages of and limitations to using portfolios.
A cross-sectional electronic survey instrument was sent to experiential coordinators at US colleges and schools of pharmacy to collect data on portfolio content, methods, training and resource requirements, and benefits and challenges of portfolio use.
Most colleges and schools of pharmacy (61.8%) use portfolios in experiential courses and the majority (67.1%) formally assess them, but there is wide variation regarding content and assessment. The majority of respondents used student portfolios as a formative evaluation primarily in the experiential curriculum.
Although most colleges and schools of pharmacy have a portfolio system in place, few are using them to fulfill accreditation requirements. Colleges and schools need to carefully examine the intended purpose of their portfolio system and follow-through with implementation and maintenance of a system that meets their goals.
确定美国药学项目中组合使用的流行程度、组合的常见组成部分,以及使用组合的优势和限制。
向美国药学院校的实习协调员发送了一份横断面电子调查工具,以收集有关组合内容、方法、培训和资源需求以及组合使用的益处和挑战的数据。
大多数药学院校(61.8%)在实习课程中使用组合,大多数(67.1%)对其进行正式评估,但在内容和评估方面存在很大差异。大多数受访者将学生组合作为主要在实习课程中的形成性评估使用。
尽管大多数药学院校都有组合系统,但很少有系统用于满足认证要求。学院和学校需要仔细检查其组合系统的预期目的,并坚持实施和维护符合其目标的系统。
