Schools and colleges of pharmacy were recently called on to evaluate students based on portfolios that document progressive achievement of competencies. Student buy-in is recognized as an important consideration related to implementation, and in order to better communicate the relevance of maintaining a portfolio, a Practitionersʼ Roundtable Discussion was initiated in one college of pharmacy. To assess studentsʼ attitudes towards portfolio-based learning and determine the effect of a Practitionersʼ Roundtable Discussion on student perceptions of portfolio-based learning, a survey was administered to 146 P1 pharmacy students before and after the discussion. The pre- and post-discussion response rates were 95% and 85%, respectively. Students maintained a neutral attitude towards the impact, value, and practical application of maintaining a Professional Development Portfolio (PDP). Pre- and post-intervention analyses of P1 student results suggest that the intervention of the Practitionersʼ Roundtable Discussion positively affected student attitudes, but in a limited capacity.
