O desafio da avaliação na formação médica por competência

Abstract

The Brazilian National Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Medicine Courses indicates recommendations for higher education institutions, in the context of competence- based approach. Such approach implies developing in the medicine students the capacity to mobilize, not only knowledge but also expertise and attitudes to deal with real situations and dilemmas, preparing them for the scenario of professional practice of physician’s in the country. The authors present a new conceptual model, not hierarchical and represented by an atom, whose attributes: knowing, applying, demonstrating, doing, being and interacting orbited around developing the core competencies. This conception, a remodeling of the traditional pyramid model proposed by Miller, is the result of the evaluative experiences developed in the institution, to favor reflection on the complexity of the medical training process.
