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.
Documentation that you have actively participated in at least one Interprofessional Education (IPE) experience during your enrollment at Emerson. IPE events are those that include other disciplines from a variety of our partnering schools. You will receive invitations to interprofessional case collaborations, journal club discussions, viewing of documentaries, etc from the advising team. One of your four portfolio reflections should be completed after participating in a required IPE event.

The resources included in this section cover a variety of topics which may be helpful to you at various points in your Speech@Emerson career. They are gathered in this space because they cover topics which often come up in Drop in office hours or Portfolio Review meetings when discussing the portfolio process or artifacts. Each is a recording of an event which has previously been hosted live for Emerson College CSD students. Because the recordings include current and previous students images and voices, they are protected so that only people within the Emerson community can view the recordings.

FAQ
FAQ
- When will I learn more about Portfolio?
We will introduce you to the details of your required Portfolio experience during Immersion and also at the beginning of your first Community based placement, CD612.
Asynchronous 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 any Program Director via Drop In Office Hours or email the Program Advising team (program_advising@emerson.edu).
- 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:
