Resumen

BEZERRA DA SILVA JUNIOR, Geraldo et al. Use of the objective structured clinical examination in the evaluation of cardiopulmonary semiology. Educ Med Super [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.3, pp. 247-254. ISSN 0864-2141.

The aim of this study is to present a strategy for the teaching practice and evaluation of cardiopulmonary semiology through an objective structured clinical examination. Practical lessons were developed with medical students. The students did anamnesis and physical exams to patients and later, each sign and symptom that was found was analyzed. At the end of practical lessons, a practical evaluation based on the objective structured clinical examination was applied. We have established a clinical situation in which the student had to do anamnesis, physical and cardiopulmonary exam and describe the results. Using computing software, cardiopulmonary sounds present in some diseases were shown to ask the students to identify them. An evaluation of the activity was done by means of a questionnaire applied to each student. Average mark in practical evaluation was 8, 93. The students' evaluation of the activity was very positive, with marks ranging from 3 to 5 in a scale from 0 to 5. Qualities of lessons and clinical histories have also been evaluated with an average mark of 4. The implementation of an objective structured clinical examination in Semiology has proved to be an efficient and useful tool in the evaluation of the medical student together with the practical lessons that made the students apt to recognize main signs and symptoms in cardiopulmonary diseases.
