Professional Development Portfolio 

Your Professional Development Portfolio will be a compilation of specific artifacts that should be suitable to present at a job interview or performance review. 

This component demonstrates your proficiency in program outcomes 5, and 9.

Program Outcome 5: Communication: Communicate effectively with all members of the healthcare team, including interdepartmental and interdisciplinary collaboration for quality outcomes.

Program Outcome 9: Professional Role: Incorporate the qualities, skills, behaviors, and knowledge required to function as a patient advocate, practice high quality care, assess and evaluate patient outcomes, and provide leadership in improving care.Compile your artifacts from the four previous assignments into a professional portfolio that you might share with a prospective employer, or a supervisor or manager. 

Imagine that you are either applying for a new position, advocating for a new role, or preparing for a year-end review. When applying for a new position, or advocating for a new role, it is helpful to anticipate the sorts of things a decision maker might be looking for in evaluating you for that particular position or role and to rehearse your responses.

Prepare a written summary of your proficiency in the format of interview questions and answers as follows:

Briefly describe a position, role, or project you would like to apply for or participate in. (I WANT TO BE A LABOR AND DELIVERY NURSE)

Alternately, imagine that you are preparing for a performance evaluation. List the questions that you imagine you might be posed. 

Respond to each question, highlighting accomplishments from your portfolio that demonstrate your level of competence.

Continue with a succinct summary of the qualities, skills, behaviors, and knowledge your bring to the tasks of patient advocacy, the practice of high quality care, the ability to assess and evaluate patient outcomes, and the leadership skills needed to provide improved patient care. (This should be 1–2 paragraphs in length.)

Conclude with a statement that reflects your understanding of the role of lifelong learning in your career goals.

Requirements: Times New Roman font, 12 pt. Double-spaced.

1-“Correlation is not causation” is a statistics mantra according to theguardian.com. “Correlation is not causation” means that just because two things correlate does not necessarily mean that one causes the other. Example provided by the article is as followed: just because people in the UK tend to spend more int eh shops when it is cold and less when it is hot, does not mean cold weather causes frenzied high-street spending; a more plausible explanation would be that cold weather tends to coincide with Christmas and the New Year sales.

for your explanation. A correlation measures the degree of the relationship between the variables, while a casual relation means that one variable causes the other. However, a correlation between two variables does not imply causation.

This assignment requires you to interview one person and requires an analysis of your interview experience.

Part I: Interview

Select a patient, a family member, or a friend to interview. Be sure  to focus on the interviewee’s experience as a patient, regardless of  whom you choose to interview.

Review The Joint Commission resource found in topic materials, which  provides some guidelines for creating spiritual assessment tools for  evaluating the spiritual needs of patients. Using this resource and any  other guidelines/examples that you can find, create your own tool for  assessing the spiritual needs of patients.

Your spiritual needs assessment survey must include a minimum of five  questions that can be answered during the interview. During the  interview, document the interviewee’s responses.

The transcript should include the questions asked and the answers  provided. Be sure to record the responses during the interview by taking  detailed notes. Omit specific names and other personal information  through which the interviewee can be determined.

Part II: Analysis

Write a 500-750 word analysis of your interview experience. Be sure  to exclude specific names and other personal information from the  interview. Instead, provide demographics such as sex, age, ethnicity,  and religion. Include the following in your response:

1. What went well?
2. Were there any barriers or challenges that inhibited your ability to  complete the assessment tool? How would you address these in the future  or change your assessment to better address these challenges?
3. How can this tool assist you in providing appropriate interventions to meet the needs of your patient?
4. Did you discover that illness and stress amplified the spiritual  concern and needs of your interviewee? Explain your answer with  examples.

Submit both the transcript of the interview and the analysis of your  results. This should be submitted as one document. The interview  transcript does not figure into the word count.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA  Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not  required.
