SECTION 1

The objective of the College of Anaesthetists Registrar training programme is to produce specialist anaesthesiologists with the following attributes to provide safe and quality care to their patients:

• Medical expert • Communicator • Collaborator • Manager • Health advocate • Scholar and teacher • Professional

To achieve these various objectives a detailed and intensive training programme is necessary for registrars. Such a programme has to focus on the development of each of these attributes to produce the appropriate specialist. Maintenance of a detailed Portfolio of Learning assists the Trainee and Supervisors in meeting these objectives.

INTRODUCTION

What is a Portfolio of Learning?

A personal Portfolio of Learning is a detailed inventory maintained by the Trainee. It is used for recording and reflecting on processes and key events during the whole registrar training period. As well as acting as a summary of training, the Learning Portfolio assists in planning learning and will help you to gain the most from your training.The Learning Portfolio can:

• Help you to track your progress by recording Modules completed, clinical experience gained, special cases undertaken, skills learned, and assessments completed.

• Assist you to establish learning plans (and revise them when necessary), time management schedules, and to develop patterns of reflective learning.

• Serve to remind you of the objectives of training and the attributes of a specialist anaesthetist which are to be achieved.

• Promote self-directed learning.

The purpose of a Learning Portfolio is to help you and your Supervisors plan and implement training and develop critical and reflective learning and practice. It is based on the “CRITICAL” concept (Certified Record of In-service Training Including Continuous Assessment and Learning).

Using the Learning Portfolio

Effective self-directed learning depends on self-planning and self-reflection. The Portfolio of Learning is designed to support both of these aspects of learning in the following ways.

• It assists you in planning and recording learning.• It helps you to value your learning experience through review, reflection and assessment

of your training and experiences.• It provides a starting point for discussion of your training with Supervisors.• It can be used as a quality assurance tool to help you to continually improve your learning

and performance.The Learning Portfolio has numerous sections where you can record information about your training. Each of these needs to be completed.


SECTION 1 … PURPOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO OF LEARNING

5

Additional copies of all forms included in the Portfolio of Learning can be downloaded and printed from the College website (www.collegemedsa.ac.za). These should be inserted into your Portfolio.

Reviewing the Portfolio of Learning

Reviewing the Portfolio of Learning is an important educational and development process. You should continually review the contents of your Portfolio of Learning and, at intervals, also review the Portfolio with your Supervisor of Training, Module Supervisor, and any support person.

Reviewing your Portfolio of Learning will:• Provide you with feedback so that you can learn from mistakes and build on

achievements• Motivate you and enhance your sense of achievement• Enable you to remedy deficiencies in acquiring knowledge, clinical skills and attitudes• Consolidate your learning capability• Help you apply abstract principles to practical contexts• Allow you to track your progress of learning• Help you to assess your achievement• Provide Supervisors with feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching and deficiencies

in your clinical experiences• Provide some audit of your learning activity

Who reviews your Portfolio of Learning?

1. The Trainee

The Portfolio is primarily aimed at improving the Learning process for the trainee. Consequently the primary reviewer of the portfolio remains the Trainee.

2. Supervisors and/or Designated Persons

It is expected that candidates formally meet with their supervisor or designated persons several times each year. At this meeting, supervisors will review the candidate’s progress and should use entries in the portfolio as a basis for discussion. This allows a structuring of the supervision process. By referring to and discussing specific areas of learning and experiences, the supervisor is able to provide informed feedback and constructive advice with regard to problems and deficiencies. In this way the portfolio allows a structuring of the supervision process. Ideally, the portfolio should be made available to the supervisor before the meeting.

3. Academic Anaesthetic Departments

The portfolio provides a record of the registrars training for departmental purposes. This allows academic departments to improve the content and delivery of their training programmes. Further, it provides evidence that various departmental objectives, regulations and targets are met.

4. Faculty / University

The relevant faculty / university may use the portfolio in a similar way to academic departments.

5. Colleges of Anaesthetists of the CMSA.

The CMSA requires evidence that learning has taken place as part of a structured programme. The portfolio is an important piece of evidence for this.

Learning Plans

Everyone has a different learning style and, depending on circumstances, rate of learning. A personal Learning Plan helps you to complete a learning assignment in a way that is most effective for you. A Learning Plan organises learning and can help to integrate theory and practice. It can enhance your motivation to learn and your development as a professional.

A Learning Plan identifies:• why you need to learn (trainee aims)• what to learn (learning objectives)• how to learn it (learning processes)• the time frame needed (time management)• how well you have learned (assessment, evaluation, self-appraisal etc)• how to link with past and future learning (reflection)

In preparing a Learning Plan:• Use your current practice and learning style as the basis of the plan.• Know the attributes required and the aims and objectives of the particular Module.• Plan to use the most suitable learning processes for each topic or matter in the Learning Objectives — these include making notes from textbooks and journals, tutorials, web or CD based information, discussions with colleagues, learning in small study groups with other trainees, and self-tests. Learning in small study groups with other trainees is an effective learning process.

Prepare a plan of learning processes for each Module in your Learning Portfolio. Keep referring to your plans and revise them whenever necessary (eg if unforeseen circumstances arise). Record and file your notes in an orderly manner so that you can easily revise. Make a time management plan (see below) and try to stick to your time schedule. Evaluate learning by self tests and through the small study group. Reflection is part of the Learning Plan.

Time management

Every task requires a minimum time period to achieve, and learning a topic or skill is no different. Know your ability to achieve a particular learning task and plan for the time to spend on it. For example, estimate a time in months that you will need to learn a section (eg Physiology). Break down the time into weeks or days required to complete learning specific topics in the section. Revise your plans (ie reallocate time) whenever necessary. Also consider the time needed for family and friends, recreation, and your health.

Reflection

Much of the Portfolio of Learning revolves round reflective learning, which is an effective method of getting the most out of clinical experiences, reading, researching and small group learning. Reflection enables the learner to revisit the experience or learning process after the event, in order to extract principles and “bank” them for better future use. Reflective learning uses principles similar to quality assurance, ie using feedback to improve learning and performance (“closing the loop”). Key steps are outlined below.

• Record your initial experience (eg aspects of knowledge, skills, learning process, behaviour, ideas, communication, interactions and feelings). Use your own words and write as much or as little as appropriate.

• Reflect on the experience (ie return to the experience to analyse it retrospectively). Express your reflections.

• Re-evaluate — identify new perspectives, change in practice or behaviour, readiness for application, and commitment to action.

— What was the situation (eg your abilities, available support etc)?— How could this be improved?— What have you learned from this?


7

— How would you do this differently the next time?

Portfolio Completion Criteria

The Portfolio should always be used in conjunction with the Regulations and Syllabus for admission to the Fellowship of the College of Anaesthetists of South Africa FCA(SA), as may be amended from time to time.

Entries must at all times be legible and, where indicated, supported by the required signatories (Supervising Consultants and Heads of Departments and their contact details). Add pages to each Section as necessary. Ensure that your name appears on every page. It is strongly advised that you keep an electronic backup copy of all entries, as well as a printed copy.

Each Rotation will need to be verified by the relevant Head of Department, including the completed “Record of Procedures Done” and “Clinical Practice Rating and Evaluation” for each Rotation.

The portfolio and supporting certificates and documents must reach the Academic Registrar of the CMSA (together with the relevant assessment fee, if applicable) at least 3 (three) months prior to the commencement of the FCA(SA) Part II Examination. Failure to submit the portfolio before this time will result in the candidate not being invited to the examination.

The Declaration Forms (Section 10) must be correctly completed and signed before submitting the portfolio to the CMSA. A declaration form for each year is to be signed off by the Head of Department. The original of such form is to be held by the academic department with a copy given to the Trainee.

A Certificate of Completion of Training is to be completed by the Head of Department when the candidate wishes to register for the FCA(SA) Part II with the CMSA. This Certificate is to accompany the Candidate’s application form.

Please ensure that you do not include any confidential patient information in the Learning Portfolio.
