The evaluation of the round teaching assistance activity: proposed observation guide

Abstract

The importance of round teaching assistance in medical training is widely recognized, which is why it constitutes an execution subject to frequent control. The objective of this work is to propose an observation guide for the evaluation of the activity of rounding the educational visit. In addition to organizational requirements, the guide contains several elements to observe related, separately, with the fulfillment of the assistance and training objectives of the visitation round; each of the sections is assessed through a qualitative rating scale of four ranges. For the global assessment of the activity, it is proposed to use five rating categories, with their corresponding criteria; through these, different degrees of mastery of the activity are integrated by the teacher, both in its care dimension and in its training dimension. It also contains a space for recommendations that allow the evaluated teacher to improve their performance. The complexity for the evaluation of the visit round is recognized, given the diversity of care and didactic conditions that are inherent to this activity.
