Identifying the Barriers to Incorporating Reflective Practice into a Veterinary Curriculum.

A portfolio with good reflective content can play a large role in learning and setting up the lifelong learning practice required by veterinary surgeons in practice or in research. The aim of this project was to investigate students' experience with their reflective diaries within an electronic portfolio (e-portfolio). Focus groups were conducted with veterinary students at the University of Liverpool in years 1-4 to explore student perceptions of the e-portfolio, with an emphasis on reflection.
