One strategy of including academic activities and accomplishments into my professional development goals would be establishing a professional portfolio. A professional portfolio is defined as: "is a systematic collection of student work that represents student activities, accomplishments, and achievements over a specific period of time in one or more areas of the curriculum. " (Mohajer, S. et al 2023). This can be beneficial into someone that is trying to keep track of their own academic work such as publishing a research article or maybe working in a specialty that is considered a big deal in the nursing world. This can show someone's experiences as well as their work. Another reason would be putting it on my CV. Work experiences relating to the job I am applying for can benefit me. Since I worked in multiple psychiatric units, it can benefit me since I have experience in how different psychiatrists medicate their patients as well as handling different patient population. According to this article the goal of a CV is: "Present a detailed list of your academic credentialstraining, teaching experience, research (including grants), publications, honors/awards, and service" (Gottlieb, M. et al 2021).

This aligns with Walden's emphasis on social change since Walden believes that the learners effect positive social change when they are reflective of scholarly practitioners. By including academic activities in a CV and a professional portfolio, the learner can showcase it's contribution for social change.
