Portfolio Instructions for Students

Portfolio 2023-24 Process

The Portfolio 2023-2024 Assignment will open on December 4th and end at 11:59 pm on January 12th. The Portfolios will be submitted via D2L. We highly recommend keeping a folder on your computer or drive of each year’s portfolio documents. Additionally, when interviewing for jobs or residencies, consider bringing copies of some of your portfolio materials in a binder (e.g., your CV, PDFs of your poster presentations, publications, and other presentations).
If your portfolio is not received by the deadline, it is considered late, and you will lose points!

The portfolio items you need to complete are much the same as last year. They include:

1. Expected Outcomes survey
2. Reflection questions at the end of the Expected Outcomes Survey (Co-Curricular participation and tracking implemented 2022-2023; see D2L for details) 
3. Pharmacy Career Pathways Student Interest Form
4. Updated CV

How you can prepare to submit your portfolio via D2L

1. Complete the open-ended reflections of the Expected Outcomes Student Survey (part 6)
   • Reflection responses are expected to be thoughtful and between 250-500 words.
