The PL3P Environment
The PL
3P portfolio provides an electronic space for:
- Collecting work: Residents record evidence of the work they've completed, both clinical and didactic.
- Showing Progress: Residents are able to track their growth and change over time. As they become better dentists throughout the course of this program the portfolio should chronicle this progress.
- Reflection: The reflection blog in the e-portfolio makes reflection on the work residents collect possible.
- Assessment: The portfolio also allows for self-assessment and as well as assessment and feedback from your program director/mentor.
- Program Portal: Residents have access to program information, for example, program requirements, calendar of events, evalaution and clinic forms, etc.

Each resident has a private home page and e-portfolio. Folders are provided for Learning Plans, Reflection, Cases, Seminar Presentations, Best Evidence Topics and other documents. More folders can be added for other assets. |

Learning Plan
Using program competencies as a guide, residents write objectives to highlight what they want to learn; list activities/tasks to be completed in order to meet objectives; set a reasonable time for completion of these activities; and provide evidence of completion within the portfolio. |
 |
Learning Plan Support
Residents can access an online module on how to develop a learning plan. Through video interviews, this module also introduces the reisdents to three exemplary dentists who are lifelong learners. |

Program Requirements
To graduate from the program each resident must meet certain minimum requirements. Residents record completion of each requirement by giving both a completion date and evidence of completion. Progress is periodically reviewed by the program director. |

The Calendar
All events for residents are placed in the calendar; these include lectures, resident presentations, conferences, etc. |
