Assessment of Clinical Competences in Dentistry as an Expression of the Quality of the Teaching-Learning Process
Keywords:
Health care, Clinical competence, Methodology.Abstract
Introduction: the competences assessed for the completion of Dentistry studies include concepts, skills, job abilities, attitudes and values, all integrated into patient care through professional functions defined in the syllabus. A state examination includes assessing the abilities of identifying and meeting current and future needs of communities, quality of argument or defense of procedures. The analysis of the results of an observational instrument of clinical competences used in the state examination is an excellent tool for self-assessment of pedagogical actions undertaken in the clinical training cycle.Objective: to prove the predictive value of a retrospective analysis of the outcomes achieved in an examination of clinical competences, in view of assessing the quality of the health care teaching processes in the formation of dentistry doctors.
Material and method: a retrospective cross-sectional study of predictive character was carried out of the Dentistry State Examination (academic course 2012-2013), at Pinar del Río University of Medical Sciences. The variables were the different sections that characterized the applied observational instrument by which the clinical competences were assessed.
Results: shortcomings were evinced of semiotechnical, therapeutic and technological competences needed to solve oral health care problems, as well as insufficient capacity for analysis, synthesis, generalization and application of knowledge and methods that support the procedures.
Conclusions: it is evident the need for improving the assessment system by adding observational tools for Dentistry clinical competences, as a result of a methodological work at faculty level.
