摘要
Background: Every doctor is expected to be competent in teaching. There are few initiatives to prepare medical students for this role. Aim: To explore residents (graduate students) and interns (final year undergraduate students) perceptions of the importance of acquiring teaching skills and how prepared they feel to meet this role. To, determine the importance that undergraduate students give to such teaching. Material and Methods: Residents and interns participated in focus groups, and completed the Medical Education Readiness Questionnaire (METRQ), 5(th) year medical students were also invited to complete it. Results: Three hundred and seventy seven subjects answered the questionnaire. The perceived importance of having teaching skills was 6.1 +/- 1.2 among residents and 5.7 +/- 1.6 among interns, in a scale 1 to 7. Their perception of their own preparation for teaching was 4.3 +/- 1.6 for both groups in the same scale. Students evaluated the preparation of the residents for teaching as 5.2 +/- 1.6 and that of the interns as 4.4 +/- 1.7. Seventy eight percent of 5(th) year medical students reported to learn more than 2.5 hours a week from residents. Fifty nine percent of residents and 66% of interns reported to teach tip to 2.5 hours per week to the same students. focus groups participants agreed that teaching is an important role for a physician, and that to do it properly requires personal characteristics, along with teaching skills. They also found that the best opportunties to learn how to teach are during practical training. Conclusions. Our Study contributes to the recognition of the teaching role of physicians and the need for teaching training among medical students. (Rev Med Chile 2010; 138: 196-204).
