“…Assessment (CSA) - (MUNRO et al, 2006) Muito semelhante ao OSCE, tem como principal diferença o fato de que, em cada estação, o estudante deve cumprir todo o conjunto de tarefas necessárias para que a abordagem do paciente se complete. Em cada situação, o estudante encontra um paciente que deve ser entrevistado, com vistas à obtenção da sua história clínica, realização do exame físico, e, em seguida, informado e orientado sobre as medidas diagnósticas e terapêuticas necessárias para a solução do referido problema.…”

Educação na Saúde (SGTES) do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil formalizou um intercâmbio de políticas e práticas sobre demografia médica, avaliação de competências dos profissionais da saúde e centros de simulação realística com a Conselheria de Igualdade, Saúde e Políticas Sociais da Junta de Andaluzia, Espanha. Após as mudanças decorrentes da publicação da Lei 12.871/2013 (Programa Mais Médicos para o Brasil), colocou-se em pauta a ordenação da formação de profissionais de saúde pelo SUS, postulando-se nessa parceria, entre outras ações, a transferência de tecnologia para construção de centros de simulação realística em saúde no Brasil. A partir deste primeiro acordo e de oficinas de formação e desenvolvimento, a Ebserh foi incorporada à proposta e realizou-se com os professores de Andaluzia uma oficina na Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, na perspectiva de mobilizar centros de formação em simulação realística no SUS, voltados para educação permanente de profissionais de saúde e também para formação de estudantes e residentes. Este foi o primeiro movimento que, após anos, resultou na presente carta-acordo que possibilitou à ABEM, em parceria com a OPAS, SGTES, Ebserh, realizar o Projeto "Desenvolvimento da Rede de centros de Simulação Clínica: elaboração de curso para capacitação de multiplicadores".

The candidate perspective of the clinical competency test (CCT) of the MICGP examination: a mixed-methods study

et al. 2018

BackgroundThe clinical competency test (CCT) was introduced by the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) in 2015. Similar to the clinical skills assessment (CSA) of the Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners exam (MRCGP), the CCT is a modified objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).AimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the MICGP CCT from the candidates' perspective, to gain an insight into their views of its fairness, relevance, and acceptability.Design & settingThis mixed-methods study was conducted with GP registrars in Ireland.MethodThe study was conducted in two phases. Firstly, focus groups were conducted with participants who had previously undertaken the CCT to explore their experience of the CCT. Secondly, findings from the focus groups informed the development of an online questionnaire, which was sent to all GP registrars who completed the CCT in the 2017 summer sitting.ResultsTwo focus groups were held with a total of nine participants. Following this, the online questionnaire was emailed to 134 registrars. Of these, 83 registrars completed the questionnaire in full. Registrars reported that the CCT is a fair exam and is relevant to daily general practice. They considered the exam to be a comprehensive assessment that has a positive educational impact. However, they were challenged by time restrictions, and found it financially and emotionally stressful.ConclusionThis is the first study to evaluate the candidate’s perspective of an exiting GP membership exam in the UK or Ireland. The CCT is well-regarded by registrars. The study results will help to inform the future development of the CCT exam.

We were able to demonstrate that the fCSA can be used to identify those trainees likely to fail the RCGP CSA. Contrary to reservations about the potential to demoralise trainees, the fCSA was viewed as a useful and a positive experience by both trainees and trainers. In addition, we suggest that feedback from fCSA was useful in triggering appropriate educational interventions. Early intervention with trainees who are predicted to fail the CSA has the potential to reduce deaneries overall fail rate. Preventing one trainee failure could save over £30 000.
