Checklist: uploading your bulk reading or scanning to MAINPORT ePortfolio
MOC Tip: Guest tip from the Royal College Services Centre
Our bulk reading and scanning options can help make documenting your activities easier. Here are some helpful tips to get your list ready to upload to MAINPORT ePortfolio!
When to use the bulk journal reading transcript
- If you are keeping track of several articles or topics read throughout the calendar year: download, save to your desktop and use our Bulk Journal Reading Transcript.
- If you are reading one or just a few articles in the calendar year: record your items individually in MAINPORT ePortfolio under “Reading.”
Before you upload your transcript in MAINPORT ePortfolio
Review your Bulk Journal Reading Transcript
| CHECKLIST: | |
|---|---|
 |
Is there one entry per article you read? |
|
Does each entry have the correct information filled in? (e.g. title, date, learning outcome) |
|
Check your credits. You can only claim one credit per article. |
|
Remember – Do NOT attach the articles themselves or screenshots of the articles. |
Review your Third Party Organization Transcript
| CHECKLIST: | |
|---|---|
|
Check that you have your usage log and your certificate ready to upload — we need both. (For topics scanned through UpToDate, Medscape and OrthoEvidence, etc.) |
|
Are all entries from the same year? If not, separate them out. You need one transcript per calendar year. |
|
Check your credits. Topics reviewed in UpToDate, Medscape, OrthoEvidence, etc., are eligible for 0.5 credits each. |
|
Ask yourself: Would any of your reading/scanning activities be better reported as a Personal Learning Project (PLP)?
Note: PLPs are valued at two MOC credits per hour. They are fitting when the reading (or scanning) and learning is done to prepare for a presentation or teaching session, research an abstract, perform an online module or course, address a clinical/academic/administrative question, etc. |
Gervais Harry | December 11, 2019
thank you very much.
My current age is 80 years.
I practised urology from 1974 until the year 2000, at which point I entered a family practice..
I began hormone restoration therapy in 2006, but continued as a family physician until December of 2014.
through 2015 and 2016, I practised bioidentical hormone restoration therapy as a specialty and following 2 years of study, obtained the ABAARM degree from the American Academy of antiaging medicine in 2016.
I currently practice part-time (2 half days weekly), at the stone tree naturopathic clinic in Collingwood, Ontario.
My practice is restricted entirely to bioidentical hormone restoration, metabolic medicine and management of difficult cases of hypothyroidism.
I spend perhaps 6 to 8 hours per week (a very conservative estimate), researching various esoterica for the benefit of my patients and so as to maintain my knowledge base with respect to metabolic medicine and the influence of thyroid hormone upon the progress of other diseases.
I attend a weekly, one-hour case conference at my clinic, the staff of which includes 6 naturopaths, myself, another (Gynaecologistt) BIHRT specialist and an oncologist who has a naturopathic degree: the cases are often unusual and always informative.
I do not often attend conferences, because of cost* but in November 2019 I attended the 94 day) SMOMED symposium in Kuala Lumpur.
*My gross income, before paying my licence fee, cost of EMR, rental to the stonetree naturopathic clinic and sundry other expenses is approximately 22,000 Canadian dollars per year.
*I am supposed to attend at least one of the American Academy of Antiaging Medicine's meetings per year, but because the total cost of attending such a meeting is between 3000 and 4000 dollars Canadian, I only attend every other year (last attendance was in December, 2018).
*I do not attend the usual family practice and/or internal medicine symposia, because (absolutely frankly), the content of such meetings is usually a rehash of old information, generally boring and frequently suspect from a scientific standpoint due to pharmaceutical Manufacturer's bias.
