Does information get added to my portfolio automatically?

You can add reflections, tags and notes to any course when it appears in your portfolio, or at any time afterwards. Tags help you organise your learning in the way that suits you.

Can I add Reflections in BMJ Portfolio?
Yes. Reflecting on the impact of your learning is an important part of maintaining your continuing professional development.

Can I print certificates from the portfolio?

Your report will include whatever is currently selected on your screen. If you need a specific date range or a particular set of tagged items then you can use the table Filters and Select all checkbox.
