OpenCampus Phase III Portfolio

This article will explain how to complete the requirements of the Phase III portfolio in OpenCampus.

The OpenCampus portfolio provides an ongoing record of your progress throughout the school. It provides an important source of developmental (formative) feedback as well as a record of completed work and achieved grades. The OpenCampus Portfolio should be the focus of a discussion with your educational supervisor at the beginning and end of each new placement.

Your portfolio must be kept up to date. You will need to work with your educational and clinical supervisors to ensure that all portfolio requirements are completed in a timely fashion.

It is important to remember that satisfactory completion of the OpenCampus Portfolio is a mandatory requirement for entry into the end of year summative assessments (as outlined in the Code of Practice on Assessment and Examination).

For each placement in Phase III of the MB BS programme, you’re required to complete a number of portfolio activities. Full details on the Phase III portfolio requirements can be found in the Phase III handbook available on Blackboard.

In exceptional circumstances, it may be possible for the programme delivery team to reopen web-based portfolio activities. Please contact the team directly at phase3@hyms.ac.uk for further guidance.
