• Resumen

  • Introduction: The current training program for resident physicians in endocrinology is regulated by the National Specialty Commission. We evaluated compliance with the program between 2000 and 2005 through a questionnaire completed by 3rd- and 4th-year residents. Material and method: The questionnaire included residents' personal data, rotations, theoretical and practical training, scientific and research activity, and other items related to the specialty. Results: Forty-six residents (63%) completed the questionnaire. Of these, 73.9% were women. Age was 27.8 years. All the residents had worked in in-patient and nutrition services for 10.7 ± 5.0 and 5.7 ± 2.2 months, respectively. Not all residents had completed compulsory rotations outside endocrinology and nutrition and the duration of these rotations was lower than recommended. A total of 97.8% had performed the Service Commission. Forty percent of the residents believed that their service did not comply with training objectives. Endocrinology and nutrition was the first-choice specialty in 97.8%. Most of the residents (95.5%) felt adequately trained for work at the end of the training program, preferring endocrinology and nutrition. Conclusions: Resident physicians in endocrinology and nutrition positively evaluated the theoretical training and supervision received, although not all the program's objectives were achieved. The residents felt qualified for work at the end of their training program.
