The process of formation of diagnostic skills in residents of pathological anatomy

Abstract

The training process of the specialist in Pathological Anatomy in Cuba plays a significant role in contributing to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the main morbidity and mortality problems with the interest of raising living standards. This article is aimed at characterizing the process of formation of diagnostic ability in residents of the Pathological Anatomy specialty. An investigation was carried out in which a total of 27 residents of the Pathological Anatomy Specialty of the University of Medical Sciences of Pinar del Río were used in the months of October to December 2021. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis, modeling and systemic-structural and empirical: document analysis, observation, survey and interview. The results obtained reveal that 100% of the residents surveyed did not have mastery of the fundamental aspects of the specialty study plan, 80% showed poor definition of the diagnostic ability to be trained during the specialty and the remaining 20% do not have it. defined. All teachers are unaware of the more general skills of the module they teach, 98% are unaware of the relationship between skills and other components of the process, 70.2 evaluate to regulate the process of training diagnostic skills in residents. The study concludes that the training of diagnostic skills in the specialty of Pathological Anatomy is carried out spontaneously and not sequenced; it does not allow the resident to systematize the actions necessary for his domain and it is not properly structured.
