ROMAO, Gustavo Salata; FERNANDES, Cesar Eduardo; SILVA FILHO, Agnaldo Lopes da y SA, Marcos Felipe Silva de. The Progress Test in gynecology and obstetrics medical residency: the national experience. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2022, vol.46, suppl.1, e153. Epub 11-Nov-2022. ISSN 1981-5271. https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-5271v46.supl.1-20220295.
Introduction:
The Progress Test (PT) is a comprehensive, longitudinal cognitive assessment with benefits for the learner, educational programs, and society. Although it is widely used in undergraduate courses in Brazil, there is little experience regarding its use in medical residency. This study aims to portray Febrasgo’s experience in the first four years of implementing the Resident’s Individual PT in ObGyn (TPI-GO).
Experience report:
The TPI-GO was implemented in 2018, being offered annually to Brazilian residents. In the last two years, the TPI-GO has been provided online. Febrasgo established criteria that allow for exemption or bonus in the theoretical test to encourage the trainees’ participation in the TPI-GO to obtain the Specialist Certification in Gynecology and Obstetrics (TEGO). Results are provided confidentially to candidates and allow self-assessment. The results of the residents’ performance from the same service are provided to the program supervisor, offering subsidies for self-assessment of quality and indicating points for improvement.
Discussion:
Since it was implemented, there has been an increasing number of candidates enrolled in the TPI-GO and a high adherence rate. The medians of performance of the two cohorts of residents studied showed cognitive evolution between beginners (R1) and graduates (R3), with differences attributed in part to the adverse effects of the Pandemic on training.
Conclusion:
The implementation of the PT in medical residency is feasible, acceptable, and shows advantages and benefits, but it requires the commitment of the organizing team, besides logistical and financial support. The results confidentiality is recommended and preserves the candidate. The possibility of granting bonuses and exemptions in the TEGO theoretical test is an excellent attraction aiming at the adhesion and adherence of residents to the PT. The TPI-GO online increases access with acceptable levels of security.
