Subject: [Rx2021] Final Portfolio Reviews


The following is on behalf of Dr. Ruby


In anticipation of the completion of program requirements for graduation, you are reminded that each P-4 student must present and successfully defend the Assessment Portfolio containing evidence and reflections for our curricular outcomes.  This remaining requirement, grounded in the American Council of Pharmaceutical Education standards, permits the faculty to recommend each student as a worthy candidate for the granting of our diploma. Therefore, students MUST satisfactorily complete the portfolio preparation, reflection, and meeting, in addition to APPE and other programmatic requirements. We look forward to reviewing your work “one last time” and seeing the progress and reflections upon your learning that give us confidence in your achievement of our curricular outcomes.



In preparation for your P-4 ASSESSMENT PORTFOLIO reviews, please refer to the P-4 Portfolio Requirement and Process document.  All work should be updated and available to the assigned faculty reviewer no later than 2 weeks prior to the scheduled review.  Review this to again familiarize yourself with the process, including

  *   Organization of evidence from P-1 through P-4 years for EACH outcome with 4 new additions FOR EACH OUTCOME from the P-4 year
     *   It is expected the evidence will demonstrate growth and advanced skill across the 4 curricular years. (e.g. drug information questions, documentation/SOAP notes from P1 - P4 year should not be similar)



  *   Completion of Portfolio Readiness Checklist (found on the Portfolio site), attesting all evidence and other documents are completed.  In addition to the completion of the Checklist in the portfolio, the student should email the completed checklist to their assigned faculty reviewer to indicate the portfolio is ready for final review. For students assigned to Block 7, this should be emailed NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 1ST.



  *   Completion of Self-Mastery Evaluation Survey (found on the Portfolio site)



  *   Completion of a cumulative Pitt Form Report(P-1 through P-4)accompanied by a reflection upon your achievements and development as demonstrated in your data across the professional years



  *   Completion of the Curriculum Outcome-based Personal Reflection document – to be added to the “00” section of your portfolio as a succinct and well-crafted 3-page “Final Reflection” encompassing all outcomes – you are reminded of the organization of reflection as “What, So What, Now What”.
     *   The purpose of this portfolio reflection at the conclusion of your pharmacy education is to provide evidence that you have achieved the goals (outcomes) of the program, demonstrating readiness for practice. A summative reflection is also an opportunity to continue "self-directed learning" through reflection and course of action to improve in the future outside the formal pharmacy professional curriculum.
     *   Using these trigger questions, categorize and address each of the curriculum outcomes in 1 of 3 sections:
        *   Which specific outcomes have I mastered (become proficient)? What is the evidence (for each)?
        *   Which specific outcomes have I developed some competence(necessary skills/knowledge/attitudes) but need to further develop as I transition to my pharmacist role? How will I address it in the future?
        *   For which specific outcomes have I not developed the desired competence?(i.e., my evidence is not as strong as desired)? Why? How will I address this outcome in my future?


Each student will complete a review with a designated member of the Curriculum Assessment Committee.  Student interviews (via phone, ZOOM,  or in-person) will be arranged during Blocks 7,8 or 9 – consult the posted schedule for your assigned block- and you will meet with the designated faculty member in a 20 minute assigned time period

Questions regarding the process or scheduling should be directed to Dr. Christine Ruby (rubyscelsicm at upmc.edu<mailto:rubyscelsicm at upmc.edu>orcms101 at pitt.edu<mailto:cms101 at pitt.edu>).
