Introduction: E-portfolio may facilitate the entrustment process from supervisors to residents in postgraduate medical education. The present study was aimed at identifying necessary features of an e-portfolio application and to conduct pilot study in a teaching hospital.
Methods: Six programs participated. Eight interviews with education directors and six focus group discussions with residents and supervisors were completed for the needs analysis stage. The application was developed based on the thematic analysis of the needs analysis stage. The mobile-app e-portfolio pilot was conducted for four weeks and a modified version of the System Usability Scale (SUS) was distributed to participants following the pilot program.
Results: Key features of the e-portfolio were identified. A total of 45 supervisors and 66 residents participated in the pilot study.
