However, ePortfolio use for competence assessment in health professions' programmes remains limited. This project partners with students to position ePortfolio as an approach to assess the competencies of future health care professionals by exploring how student-constructed ePortfolio might enable assessment of competencies for students on placement in Pharmacy, Medicine, and Dentistry programmes. This approach builds on a 2021 initiative wherein two pharmacy students collaborated with mentors to explore how ePortfolio might effectively address learning and competence assessment challenges associated with remote placements. Key findings introduced for student partners and mentors starting placement in August 2022 include training on ePortfolio practice, avoidance of 'performative learning', and evidencing competencies relevant to placement. Ongoing mentorship by Prof Yancey and the team will support students as they develop, curate and share their evolving ePortfolio in early October. As the pharmacy students undergo formative assessment of relevant competencies in early October, they are the focus of this poster and actively engaged in preparation of the poster for QQI Conference. ], Poster, PUBLISHED
