Second, it is developmental achievement, a demostration of the development of learning outcomes during the time. Third, it is individual profesional clinical practice, because portfolioa are good examples of work-realated activities, examples of clinical situations, case presentations or organisational activities. Forth, it is ability to reflect on, to evaluate trainee's own profesional activities, ability to be reflective practitioner. Each learning otcome are greded as: 1) definitive fail ; 2) marginal fail ; 3) satisfactory ; 4) very good ; 5) exelent. The same grades are applied for owerall assessment of the portfolio. During the presentation, we would like to share our experience with the collegues to see whether there are any other possibilities for qualitative assess of the portfolios.
