Simulación en técnicas quirúrgicas básicas (manejo de heridas quirúrgicas) como herramienta de evaluación de competencias adquiridas por los estudiantes de medicina durante el externado período Octubre 2014-Febrero 2015

Abstract

The use of simulation techniques as a teaching-learning tool in medicine is useful because it allows students to practice procedures in simulated environments, where they can make mistakes and rectify them, as well as improve their skills and abilities and then apply them to real resources. The competencies acquired by the ninth cycle students of the Technical University of Loja (UTPL) were evaluated through the Structured Objective Clinical Evaluation (OSCE) after the implementation of the Workshop on Surgical Wounds at the beginning of the academic cycle in the period October 2014-February 2015. At the end of the academic year the students were reassessed to see if I remember the competences previously taught, managing to keep track of memory. A comparative study was carried out with 41 students, which indicated that 100% managed to acquire clinical skills in the 2 students obtained better scores in the second ECOE compared to the first.
