Enhancing Clinical Education: Developing a Comprehensive Portfolio

Paul Attenborough, RMIT University

Paul Attenborough, Lecturer in Osteopathy and Clinical Coordinator at RMIT University, shares how he designed and implemented a dynamic PebblePad workbook to support clinical learning across the final two years of the osteopathy programme.

Key takeaways:

  • Competency-based assessment aligned with professional capabilities
  • Reflective practice and evidence-based learning
  • Integration of clinical encounters, feedback loops, and patient logs
  • Transition from structured templates to student-led portfolio creation

 

Paul also reflects on lessons learned, Canvas integration challenges, and future plans for expanding PebblePad use in external placements and OSKI assessments.
