Abstract

The study, carried through with nurses at the University Hospital Pedro Ernesto, looked to reflect on practical knowledge in the formation of the nurse. In the construction of the theoretical referential, the contributions of Patricia Benner, Phillipe Perrenoud and Donald Shön have been very relevant. From a methodological point of view, it consisted of a case study, with a qualitative approach; from semi-structured interviews with nurses involved in assisting the patient. The findings demonstrate that the competences that support the professional exercise are built on practical knowledge, theoretical knowledge, life experience, and professional socialization.

[Implementation of a competency-based graduate medical education program in a neurology department].

BACKGROUND: Competency-based programs have long been the basis of graduate medical education in British and North America. Such formally defined program structures are lacking in German graduate medical education. METHODS: The methods and assessment tools used in a curriculum-based program of graduate education in medical specialties are presented. The feasibility of the program was tested in day-to-day use in a pilot study conducted within a neurology department. Experience of it during a 1-year period after implementation has also been collected. RESULTS: It was found that implementation of the program is feasible providing that both the trainers and the students are well motivated, that adequate resources are provided, and that a formal training system is provided for the trainers. This is confirmed by the 1-year experience of the program in routine clinical practice. CONCLUSIONS: The competency-based program presented, which is compatible with many quality management systems, offers management and assessment tools that will make for more satisfactory postgraduate medical education.
