Required Resources
Use the completed assessments in this course as supporting evidence for your portfolio.
Your Professional Development Portfolio is the final portion of your capstone project. For Part I, compile specific artifacts that would be suitable to present at a job interview or performance review. In addition to the four previous assessments you have completed in this course, prepare a written summary (Part II) of your proficiency in all of the program outcomes and highlight accomplishments from your portfolio that illustrate your level of competence.
Note: You will not be re-evaluated on the four previous assessments you submit as artifacts for your Portfolio; you will only be evaluated on your written summary. Be sure, however, that you submit your entire portfolio.
Part I
Prepare your Professional Development Portfolio by compiling into a .zip file all the assessments (artifacts) you have completed for this course. Organize your portfolio in a manner that makes sense for you. To make it easier to reference specific assessments, use a numbering or lettering system such as A, B, C, and so on.

Assessment A: Health Assessment and Communication.
Assessment B: Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.
For example, in the summary you write in Part II, you would reference portions of Assessment A to support your proficiency in the corresponding competencies.
