RESUMO
A Residência Médica (RM) está consagrada como a melhor forma de inserção de médicos na vida profissional e de capacitação numa especialidade. Observa-se uma discrepância entre o número de formandos candidatos à RM e o número de vagas credenciadas. Nesse contexto, alunos do quinto e sexto anos sacrificam a graduação médica durante os estágios curriculares para se dedicarem aos Cursos Preparatórios (CPs) para a RM. Buscou-se conhecer as expectativas dos alunos de Medicina em relação à RM, bem como suas opiniões sobre o surgimento dos CPs. Foram aplicados questionários com oito perguntas objetivas a 70,83 por cento dos alunos do sétimo, oitavo e nono períodos da Faculdade de Medicina (FM). Todos afirmaram conhecer o método dos CPs; 76 por cento pretendem se matricular; dos que não têm essa intenção, 63,17 por cento, o principal motivo declarado é a falta de condições financeiras; 59,45 por cento desaprovam o método atual de avaliação para a RM. Conclui-se que é necessário adequar os atuais métodos de ensino da FM ao modelo das avaliações da RM. Os critérios para o ingresso na RM poderiam ser ajustados, contemplando as habilidades práticas. As FMs devem, continuamente, disponibilizar material didático atualizado, moderno e acessível a todos os alunos.
ABSTRACT
Medical Residency (MR) is known as the best form for a doctor to start his professional life and to developing his skills in a specialty. There is however a discrepancy between the number of graduate/ candidates for Medical Residency and the number of vacancies. In this context, students in the 5th and 6th years of Medical School are sacrificing their medical graduation during their internships to dedicate themselves to Preparatory Courses (PCs) for the Medical Residency. This study sought to investigate the expectations of the students with regard to RM as well as/ their opinion about the creation of the PCs. 70.83 percent of the students of the 7th, 8th and 9th semesters/ of the Medical School (MS) answered questionnaires with eight objective questions. They all stated to know the PC method; 76 percent/ intended to enroll; out of those who did not intend on to enroll, 63.17 percent claim that the/ main reason/ is poor financial conditions. 59.45 percent disapproves the current method of admission tests for MR. In conclusion, it is necessary to adapt the current teaching methods of the medical school to the model of admission tests for MR. The criteria for admission to MR should be adjusted, also considering the practical skills. The medical schools should always make inexpensive, up-to-date and modern educational material available to the students.
