A. Longhofer & B. Nuziale: Longitudinal Portfolio Development

Presentation 'Developing, Projecting, and Assessing an Academic and Professional Identity Through Longitudinal Portfolio Development' by Andrew Longhofer and Brandon Nuziale (Pacific University) at the virtual AAEEBL Symposium on 17 June 2026. Symposium website: https://sites.google.com/aaeebl.org/2... Abstract: The Pacific University PharmD curriculum includes a required Personal & Professional Develompent course sequence that spans the entirety of the PharmD curriculum to promote equity, consistency, and structured support. The course series is organized into six longitudinal threads: Academic Success and Student Well-Being; Advocacy; Leadership; Mentorship; Self-Awareness and Self-Presentation; and Practice Readiness and Awareness of Others. Students maintain a longitudinal portfolio with structured reflections requiring specific, personal narratives demonstrating professional identity formation and evidence of at least two experiences beyond required coursework by graduation for each learning outcome. Faculty assess development in each ACPE-mapped domain using a 5-level rubric (0 = Student; 1 = Pharmacy Student; 2 = Student Pharmacist/APPE-Ready; 3 = Pharmacist/Practice-Ready; 4 = Mentor Pharmacist).  Student growth is evident across learning outcomes, and we have identified support needs earlier. Students demonstrated progressive advancement toward “Practice-Ready” levels. Structured mentorship improved consistency of advising and normalized discussions of academic performance, career planning, and wellbeing. Resources: Slides: https://drive.google.com/file/d/106Je...
