Associação do Miniex e prova teórica como método de avaliação para residentes de Ortopedia

Abstract

The evaluation of students and medical residents through Miniex is already well grounded in literature, with several papers demonstrating their validity and reliability. This paper aims the comparison of two groups of residents of Orthopedics in the Orthopedics Oncology area, utilizing Miniex assessments and a theoretical test examination. A total of 56 Miniex evaluations were carried out divided into two groups of residents being seven of them 2 nd year residents of Orthopedics and another seven attending the 3 rd year medical residency. There was a best performance of 3 rd year residents regarding skill competence of medical interview as well as on theoretical test examination. It has been also identified that skill in medical interview was the best marker for a good performance in the evaluation of Miniex. Analyzing some features of patients, such as gender and complexity of the case shows the possibility of these influencing the score giving to the student. We also observed that there is no association between the score giving to evidence and theoretical Miniex assessments. The findings of this study suggest there are peculiarities in the evaluation process as in the charging of individual knowledge that subjective considerations deserve, in addition to the score offered by traditionally carried out assessments. The use of Miniex is perfectly feasible as a evaluation tool in medical residency; its use can be can be spread to other medical education institutions
