SP51 The Showcase Portfolio: Empowering the Residents to Build Their Own Personal Medical Home
Tadao Okada, MD, MPH; Yasuki Fujinuma, MD


Portfolio is a relatively new method of evaluation introduced with ACGME outcomes project in the U.S. “The showcase portfolio” suggested by O’Sullivan et al is one of the unique type of portfolios. It really encourages us to critically reflect upon our own core values as family physicians and to promote the process of crystallization of our philosophy into everyday work. As it requires extensive dialogue among the educators and the learners in order to determine “the area of entry” for the showcase portfolio, we consider it is as an effective teaching strategy especially for creating their unique personal medical home (instead of an evaluation tool). We will review the concept of “the showcase portfolio” and discuss how to successfully implement it in the participants’ own program.
