Simulación en la adquisición de la competencia clínica para realizar examen ginecológico y toma de pap test en estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, periodo septiembre 2013-febrero 2014.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to determine the memory footprint on the acquisition of clinical competences in Gynecologic Exam and Pap test using simulation methodologies through virtual and face-to-face teaching. A descriptive and prospective study, with quantitative design and cross-cutting approach was performed with 54 undergraduate students from the Medicine Qualification of Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, 27 of which were taught with the classroom teaching methodology, and the other 27 were taught with virtual teaching methodology. We designed and delivered training materials to achieve a proper study of the workshop’s content. The data was collected using OSCE, consisting of 20 items to assess. From the total sample, and to compare the results of both groups in the OSCE at the end of the workshop and the semester, 85.19% of students obtained a suitable memory footprint, and only 14.81% did not. Teaching by simulation contributes to the development of clinical skills in medical students, and their assessment by OSCE is useful and effective.
