What is Portfolio?
What is Portfolio?
The Portfolio is an ASHA requirement of the program which promotes long-term tracking of student learning beyond academic grades and clinical clock hours. It is an opportunity to integrate academic and clinical knowledge. Students create one set of artifacts per term in which they're enrolled in clinical practicum - CD612, CD613, CD614 & CD615. Artifacts include evidence of an EBP project that was implemented in practicum, a semester reflection, and a review sheet documenting knowledge and skills gained.
The portfolio process also includes documentation of ASHA General Education requirements that you may have completed before enrolling in the program. If you have not yet finished your General Education requirements (Biology, Physics or Chemistry, Statistics, and a Social or Behavioral Sciences), you can learn more about these requirements here.

FAQ
FAQ

We will introduce you to the details of your required Portfolio experience during Immersion.
Your Portfolio modules will be embedded into your placement courses, so you will gain access during the course access period before you begin CD612.
- Who may I contact if I have questions about my Portfolio artifacts?
If you have questions about Portfolio, you may contact your Program Advisor directly, email the Program Advising team (program_advising@emerson.edu), or attend Advising drop-in office hours.
- What should my Clinical Supervisor at my placement know about my Portfolio?
Supervisors can and should provide guidance/suggestions for topic ideas for your EBP assignment, as well as serve as a mentor to provide feedback about implementation of the research with a client on your caseload. The supervisor is asked to sign the EBP paper to indicate that the student collaborated with the supervisor on the assignment. Below is a link out to an EBP Information Sheet that you can share with your Clinical Supervisor at the beginning of the term.
