In the fourth year of Portfolio, students solidify their foundation in critical self-reflection through discussion and written assignments designed to consolidate their knowledge of the intrinsic CanMeds roles, and their personal and professional journey into newly graduating physicians. Portfolio guides students in assessing their progress as professionals, as well as provides an opportunity for reflection in preparation for the CaRMS process and transition to postgraduate training. Students and Scholars will continue with the same groups from the previous year to maintain continuity and integrity of the group and relationships. The Process component of the course consists of two mandatory small-group meetings centered on themed topics, including “CaRMS Preparation” and “The Physician I Aspire to Be,” and one Progress Review Meeting with the Academy Scholar. The Written component contains one thematic reflection and progress review report. The written reflection and progress review report are evaluated using the same format used in Year 3 Portfolio. In addition, an MD Program Professionalism form will be completed at least once over the year.
