A 4-hours workshop was carried at Islamic International Medical College on 15 November 2019. Sampling technique was purposive (n=21). The reaction of the study participants about the training experience was evaluated through a feedback evaluation proforma. The assessment of knowledge was done through MCQs and reflective writing skill was assessed through a checklist based upon framework of Gibbs reflective cycle. Both knowledge and skill were assessed before and after the
workshop. The content of pre-test and post-test was same.
Results: The knowledge of the participants about portfolio was remarkably increased, from 3.95 ± 1.35 (median=4) in pre-test to 6.23 ±1.17 (median=6) in post-test. The improvement in reflective writing skill was also significant 2.14 ± 0.727 (median=2) in pre-workshop reflection to 4.23 ± 0.70 (median=4) in post-workshop reflection. The Wilcoxon signed rank test showed a significant increase in both knowledge and skill (p-value <0.000). The reaction of the participants showed high percentages regarding content delivery (95%), learning environment (100%) and increase in knowledge (95%) measured on 5-point Likert scale.
