Abstract

The state exam is an evaluation which documents the accomplishing of the general and essential content objectives, considering that it is applied at the end of the second year of the specialty of Comprehensive Dental Care, after having passed all the modules comprised in the residency syllabus when the academic year (2005-2006) ended. A descriptive and retrospective research was performed with 134 state exams applied to the residents in Comprehensive Dental Care belonging to the Medical School in Pinar del Río, whose main objective was to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the evaluative tool. All the exams were reviewed and the data collected underwent the percentage analysis of relative frequency, finding that the students had the best qualifications in the practical exam in the interval of 80-89 and 90-95, whereas, in the written state exams, most residents had qualifications ranging 70-79. When analyzing the greatest difficulties in the questions of the exam we found that the greatest number of mistakes lied in questions on growth and progress of and assistance for 19-year-old minors, with no questions of promotion, health education, and prevention modules, nor in the assistance for the disabled, in spite of that content being very important to accomplish the final objectives, and therefore the graduate's, the real comprehensive dental care specialist's profile that our National Health Systems demands.
