The Learning Portfolio is one component of the College’s Quality Assurance Program.
All components of the Quality Assurance Program work together to support the delivery of safe, quality care.
All Part A pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are expected to engage in continuing professional development and maintain a record of their learning. Registrants are required to retain their learning portfolio records and supporting documents for a minimum of five years.
About the Learning Portfolio
A learning portfolio is a tool that supports the practitioner in:
- Identifying their learning needs
- Planning a course of action
- Tracking their professional development activities
- Evaluating and reflecting on their learning activities
- Assessing the impact of learning activities on their practice, and
- Documenting their growth and professional development.
The practitioner may use feedback from multiple sources, including other Quality Assurance activities to build their learning portfolio.
Elements of the Learning Portfolio
Registrants may use the OCP Learning Portfolio Tool available through My Learning (CPD Portal) to plan and document their learning activities.
The Learning Portfolio Tool consists of four sections:
- Education Action Plan
- Continuing Education (CE) Log
- FAQ Log
- Professional Profile
Registrants may modify the OCP Learning Portfolio Tool to better meet their individual preferences or use any other method of filing or recording their continuous learning activities as long as it is current and includes an education action plan and CE log.
