Introduction:

Assessment is paramount in the resident physician’s teaching-learning process. The Mini-CEX is considered an appropriate instrument to carry out formative assessment, allowing structured educational feedback. In this context, residency preceptors need to undergo a continuous training process to better prepare their residents, and a viable form of training is using Distance Education (EaD).

Objective:

To develop and validate a Distance Education (EaD) course on Mini-CEX for residency preceptors in Mastology.

Method:

Development and validation of a technical-educational product, in the format of a training course and in the Distance Education modality (EaD). The consensus group technique was used in the product content validation process. Semantic validation was carried out through a validation questionnaire applied to the preceptors involved in the residency program in Mastology.

Results:

A self-instructional and unmediated course was designed and validated, with a total workload of 02 (two) hours. The course was approved by the target audience, as it had an overall average score of 98% satisfaction and a Cronbach’s alpha equal to 0.8.

Conclusions:

The course developed and validated on Mini-CEX presents itself as a relevant option for the training of medical residency preceptors in Mastology and can be extended to any medical residency service. It should be noted that the Distance Education (EaD) course favors the adherence of the target audience, with an accessible format to strengthen knowledge on the subject, in addition to encouraging preceptors to also use the educational evaluation.
