Summary
This article describes and provides examples of the 7 types of Endorsed Learning Experiences.
What is an Endorsed Learning Experience?
Endorsed Learning Experiences (LXs) allow ANZCAP members to autonomously document and self-reflect on a variety of significant professional experiences that have undergone an established peer review or peer recognition process as part of the professional activity.
Compared to other categories of learning experiences Endorsed LXs do not require collaboration with peers for evaluation or feedback as this has already been incorporated into the professional experience either by the nature of the activity or via an established understanding in the profession.
Endorsed LXs can contribute towards recognition of professional practice in a variety of ways by inclusion in both recognition portfolios and custom portfolios.
Types of Endorsed Learning Experiences
There are 7 different types of Endorsed LXs that can be used to document a broad variety of professional experiences. Please see the list below for the names and definitions of each type of Endorsed LX.

Endorsed Learning Experience Workflow
All Endorsed Learning Experiences involve 3 steps for completion; Prepare, Engage & Reflect.
Prepare
Engage
Reflect*
Pharmacist identifies an appropriate professional experience that is significant to their practice or is a significant learning experience and aligns it with the appropriate type of Endorsed LX.
The pharmacist must independently determine:
Area of Practice
Pharmacist engages in the professional experience (skill or situation)
Pharmacist completes the online LX, which guides the pharmacist to:
Engage in self-evaluation of key skills of the experience
Reflect on the experience by identifying strengths, areas for development & development goals
Upload evidence to support the Endorsed LX
*Pharmacists may have engaged in discussion with professional peers, mentors or managers to encourage reflective practice. However, the Endorsed LX should be completed by the pharmacist autonomously without collaboration.
Each type of Endorsed Learning Experience has it’s own electronic template on the ANZCAP platform that will guide ANZCAP members through each step of the process.
