Within the context of competency-based medical education, portfolios and mentorship emerge as complementary interventions, each offering distinct perspectives and benefits. Together, these elements synergistically contribute to a holistic and effective approach to medical education, encompassing both the academic and personal development imperatives of students. However, this integration comes with several implementation challenges that must be anticipated and promptly addressed. After reviewing the literature related to the enabling factors and barriers to the successful integration of mentoring and portfolio assessment, Dubai Medical College for Girls (DMCG) developed a strategy to minimize all known limitations of this approach. The article provides solutions to compensate for the reported gaps in the system's performance. Practical tips are provided for the effective implementation of an integrated portfolio and mentorship approach to maximize educational outcomes. The article details original responses to common challenges in this process, such as standardizing portfolio content, optimizing time investment in mentorship, and maintaining the value of portfolios in an assessment-centric educational framework. CONCLUSION: DMCG experience and literature data suggest that the implementation of the integrated approach to mentorship and portfolio assessment can be successful if during operationalization institution administrators consider several important factors including participant training and support, timely introduction of the system, standardization of portfolio content and agenda of the mentor-mentee meetings, convenience for system users, wise scheduling, and emphasizing reflective component.
在基于能力的医学教育背景下，档案袋和导师制成为互补的干预措施，各自提供独特的视角和益处。这些要素共同协同作用，形成一种全面且有效的医学教育方法，涵盖学生的学术和个人发展需求。然而，这种整合伴随着一些实施挑战，必须加以预见并迅速解决。在回顾了与成功整合导师制和档案袋评估的促成因素及障碍相关的文献后，迪拜女子医学院（DMCG）制定了一项策略，以尽量减少这种方法的所有已知局限性。本文提供了解决方案，以弥补该系统在性能方面所报告的差距。还提供了实用技巧，以有效实施综合档案袋和导师制方法，从而最大限度地提高教育成果。本文详细阐述了针对这一过程中常见挑战的原始应对措施，例如使档案袋内容标准化、优化导师制中的时间投入，以及在以评估为中心的教育框架中保持档案袋的价值。结论：DMCG的经验和文献数据表明，如果在实施过程中机构管理人员考虑几个重要因素，包括参与者培训与支持、系统的及时引入、档案袋内容和师生会议议程的标准化、系统用户的便利性、合理安排时间以及强调反思部分，那么实施导师制和档案袋评估的综合方法可以取得成功。
