94 Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine—Health Informatics Program A specific set of measurable learning objectives and deliverables will be determined by the student, the site preceptor, and the NSU-based faculty adviser. These learning objectives must be approved by the course director. The student’s area of interest would be determined at an earlier point in the program or by the needs of the precepting organization. The practicum is evaluated by completion of an e-Portfolio. The e-Portfolio is an evidence-based digital format method used by the program to assess the quality and quantity of learning gained from a student practicum experience. The e-Portfolio is standardized in its structure and format, yet individualized in its content for each student. Overall, the e-Portfolio is goaldriven documentation of professional growth and achieved competencies during the practicum. The e-Portfolio combines self-reflection, instructor assessments, and documentation supplied by students (evidence/samples) to document what they learned/produced. It is used to help students prepare for career transition/development. Students are responsible for finding their own practicum site. Once a site is located, the program office will facilitate a legal affiliation agreement between the site and the program. Some practicum sites may require background checks, drug screening, and immunization records. Students are responsible for any associated costs.
