3. To add personnel reflection on each clinical case.
4. Operation notes/ signed by chief resident and/or consultant (5 notes).
5. Critical apprasial should be related to the cases in the portfolio and should have your personal reflection (5 cases).

It has come to our notice that writing of portfolio become inconsistent and inadequate with the aims of the undergraduate curriculum. Therefore, we would like to emphasize the following important guidelines.

In including cases of history taking, the following should be made:

1. To include the name of patients, CPR number, ward number, bed number, the name of the supervising consultant and the date of admission to the hospital and the date of history taking.
2. A summary of professional diagnosis, workup, the results of the investigations and the management in the hospital.

4. To avoid copying from computer formats of history taking, each case should be signed by the tutor concerned.
5. Brief note about follow up.
