Your portfolio serves multiple purposes — CfAP credentialing, MSc assessment, employer appraisal, regulatory revalidation, and career progression. Building it well from the start prevents the painful retrospective evidence-gathering that delays credentialing.
Evidence by pillar: Clinical practice (case studies, audits, competency logs, prescribing evidence). Leadership (QI projects, service redesign, management roles). Education (teaching, mentoring, supervision). Research (audit, literature review, conference participation).
Build contemporaneously. Document evidence as it happens — not retrospectively. Monthly portfolio review prevents gaps.
Common gaps: Research and education pillars neglected. Actively seek opportunities — present at a team meeting (education), join a practice audit (research).
Portfolio platforms: CfAP portal, university systems, personal documentation.
iatroX's CPD module supports clinical learning documentation for the clinical practice pillar — every quiz session, Q&A query, and CPD completion generates potential evidence.
