Leadership & Learning: Insights from my Peers’ Portfolios

As part of my current graduate course, my classmates have each created ePortfolio’s showcasing themselves, their educational and professional backgrounds and various aspects of their work within the realm of healthcare. At the bottom of this page, I’ve included a list of their portfolios. Overall, my classmates’ portfolios effectively showcase the professionalism and leadership of today’s healthcare leaders while highlighting the diverse roles essential to sustaining our health system.

A few notable elements, in no particular order
-Faiza and Jaydene’s portfolios successfully showcase their respective professions, allowing readers to leave with a good understanding of their unique and intriguing roles in the healthcare system
-Karena’s portfolio highlights her passion for healthcare and is a good example of the vital role that non-healthcare providers play in supporting and enhancing the healthcare system
-Heather’s portfolio provides engaging insights into the field of myofunctional therapy, an area I was previously unfamiliar with. Similarly, Amber and Jennifer L highlight the diverse roles within diagnostic imaging. As a community pharmacist, I do not routinely collaborate with diagnostic imaging professionals, so I found it especially interesting to learn more about their work.

With this program being online-only, I’m grateful that this opportunity has allowed us to build stronger connections and learn more about our respective professions. I look forward to checking back in with their portfolios as we continue throughout this program and our careers.
