Teaching portfolios: reflecting upon and improving teaching.
A number of benefits can be seen for academic medical faculty and their learners as a result of using the teaching portfolio to focus on faculty's work as educators. While the portfolio's initial purpose may be to document the extent and quality of teaching, thoughtful reflection on and documentation of the process and outcomes of teaching can lead faculty to advance in their teaching skills as medical practitioners who are charged with inducting new learners into the profession.
