- Abstract
Background: Heralded as a teaching, assessment and reflective tool, and increasingly as a longitudinal and holistic perspective of the educator's development, medical educator's portfolios (MEP)s are increasingly employed to evaluate progress, assess for promotions and career switches, used as a reflective tool and as a means of curating educational activities. However, despite its blossoming role, there is significant dissonance in the content and structure of MEPs. As such, a systematic scoping review (SSR) is proposed to identify what is known of MEPs and its contents. Methods: Krishna's Systematic Evidenced Based Approach (SEBA) was adopted to structure this SSR in SEBA of MEPs. SEBA's constructivist approach and relativist lens allow data from a variety of sources to be considered to paint a holistic picture of available information on MEPs. Results: From the 12 360 abstracts reviewed, 768 full text articles were evaluated, and 79 articles were included. Concurrent thematic and content analysis revealed similar themes and categories including: (1) Definition and Functions of MEPs, (2) Implementing and Assessing MEPs, (3) Strengths and limitations of MEPs and (4) electronic MEPs. Discussion: This SSR in SEBA proffers a novel 5-staged evidence-based approach to constructing MEPs which allows for consistent application and assessment of MEPs. This 5-stage approach pivots on assessing and verifying the achievement of developmental milestones or 'micro-competencies' that facilitate micro-credentialling and effective evaluation of a medical educator's development and entrust-ability. This allows MEPs to be used as a reflective and collaborative tool and a basis for career planning.
