Work Blog
yeah yeah..another blog. i made this out of necessity, though.
we were told that we need to make our own portfolio and it should contain all the work we've done as an audiologist. we also need to build up points for our cpd and it's one heck of a job, if i may say (being in the office most of the time and not having time for seminars and the works). good thing though, self-study (like reading) and personal experience could earn you points. as long as you'll be able to make a reflective summary out of them (sorry, glossy mags not included! =p).
this is all part of being a registered audiologist here (or so we're told) and being members of the BAA, we are expected (but not forced) to complete our portfolio requirements. this is all for our own benefits.
we're told that when the registry is transfered to the hpc (health professional council), we might be summoned for an interview by a panel who will review our eligibility. and having a portfolio will make things easier as that would present our stint as audiologists. they said that in our entire working life (in this field), there is a probability that we may be called twice. pero that is if you'll be working till you retire. =p
anyways, im starting this 'work blog' bec. as it is, there is still no definite outline of what to include and how to present the portfolio. but one of the suggestions was to make a 'diary' of our everyday job and reflect on them. so when the final outline comes out, we can just go back and review what we have learned and select the highlights.
o well, easier said than done. i have finished the basics of the portfolio (cv, job description, yada yada). i just need to write my daily activities and reflect on the day's events.
hope this won't just be an outlet for my rants! =p
