[Quantitative assessment of medical students' clinical practical learning in department of obstetrics and gynecology of Brest Hospital University].
Résumé
OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this study was to describe how medical students got progressively trained to perform the most frequent medical procedures in obstetrics and gynecology. The secondary objective was to rationalize and plan the training. METHODS: The medical students in our University Hospital were contacted either directly or by e-mail. They were given an anonymous simple choice questionnaire relating to eight most important acts in the specialty. RESULTS: Three hundred and eighty-two medical students have been consulted. We got 173 answers which means a participation rate of 45.3%. The survey showed up that the considered procedures were progressively put into practice with the exception of two: the insertion of an intrauterine contraceptive device (coil) and of an implant. CONCLUSION: The study showed off some insufficiency in the training in two of the considered procedures. An amendment was proposed with simulated performances of the acts and the setting up of a training course booklet.
