Résumé
Using a Collaborative Action Research model, our research team established a one-month clinical resident training program for first- and second-year clinical residents. We created and implemented an assessment rubric to assess the residents' progress toward independent practice in surgery, and thereby, to evaluate the program itself. The program included training in three areas: basic techniques and procedures in the operating room, surgical ward management, and academic activities. The rubric measured the residents' performance according to three achievement levels: Level 1 (demonstration), Level 2 (active help) and Level 3 (passive help). The program and rubric implementation began in June 2019 and continued until March 2020, when the program outcomes and shortcomings were analyzed. Among nineteen clinical residents, a total of nine clinical residents participated in the study. Most participants reached achievement Level 3 for their performance of basic techniques in the operating room. Finally, we discussed ideas for improvement and drafted plans for an improved rubric to complete the action research cycle. Our research team found the rubric to be a useful tool in evaluating the status of the new clinical resident training program.
