The Learning Portfolio
This was a comment that i left on Pat's blog, but i liked it so much I've decided to turn it into a post.
The learning Portfolio is a piece of assessment universally hated by all med students regardless of creed, colour, socio-economic status, gender or any of those thigns we've been taught influence health. Tt was a chance for us to sit back and think about
what we'd learnt, what difficulties we'd had, how we could do it better, how the stuff we'd learnt about could be put into an exam format, the ethical implications of things we'd learnt, how much we'd like to graduate, how we balance our social and work life with our medicine life, how our medicine life should take top priority, what type of medicine we were thinking about doing later, where we were going for a placement, why we were going there, what we should do on a placement, what we did on a placement, how we could do our next placement better, current medical developments we'd been researching and their implications, the long-term effects on society of certain interventions, whether or not we feel that we are healthy, whether or not we feel that Australia is healthy, how we could improve the standard of our own health, how we could improve the standard of the community's health, how we felt about results we weren't getting, and how we could perform better in the medicine course.
As this was only worth 10% of our grade, every med student's answer to the last point was "Don't do any of the above"
