The primary purpose of a master portfolio is to document, categorize, and, skills, and abilities;
growth; and progress of a student, and as a professional. This is especially critical for healthcare
providers and students learning and working in increasingly complex communities of education
and practice. This has achieved through class discussions, case studies, assignments, clinical
rotation, clinical encounters, and reflection. The paper will discuss this learning using exemplars.
The purpose of this paper will introduce the student personal and professional goal, as well as
her professional career and plan of study using evidence-based resources and core competency at
chamberlain university. The summary of reflections is based on the evidences of the knowledge
that this student has learned during the entire course of MSN.

NR 503 Population Health Epidemiology and Statistical Principles
Summary of Reflection: This class helps the student to gain knowledge regarding the current
