ReviewBest evidence on the educational effects of undergraduate portfolios.
The great variety of portfolio types and schemes used in the education of health professionals is reflected in the extensive and diverse educational literature relating to portfolio use. We have recently completed a Best Evidence Medical Education (BEME) systematic review of the literature relating to the use of portfolios in the undergraduate setting that offers clinical teachers insights into both their effects on learning and issues to consider in portfolio implementation. ⋯ Our findings have implications for the design and implementation of portfolios in the undergraduate setting.
