Taller de trauma abdominal en los estudiantes de noveno ciclo de medicina de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, periodo septiembre 2016 - febrero 2017

Abstract

Objective: To implement the simulation workshop in abdominal trauma through virtual and face-to-face teaching in order to evaluate the acquisition of clinical skills. Methodology: Using descriptive research, using observation and Structured Objective Clinical Evaluation (ECOE), the abdominal trauma workshop was applied to students enrolled in the period September 2016 - March 2017 in the medical degree in the Integrated Clinical V of the UTPL. Results: Similar results were obtained between the virtual and face-to-face modalities, demonstrating that there is no difference in the learning of the clinical skills evaluated in the ECOE, confirming that the use of clinical simulation and the use of ECOE improves performance and above all the clinical reasoning ability of medical students. Conclusion: 100% of the students approved the ECOE in both modalities, allowing to verify the reliability and validity of this method to acquire and evaluate the clinical competences of the students.
