Summary
Tutelary training programs in Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery enhance resident education. This program improved academic activities, clinical practice, and research for medical trainees.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery education.
- Medical training and residency programs.
Context:
- Increased medical student numbers have reduced personal contact in medical training.
- This has negatively impacted specialized medical training quality.
- The Hospital for Cardiology implemented a tutelary training program to address this gap.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the initial effectiveness of a tutelary training program in Cardiology.
- To assess the impact of mentorship on resident development.
Summary:
- A tutelary training program was implemented with defined criteria for tutors and students.
- Twenty residents participated in the program and were evaluated after three months.
- Key areas assessed included academic, clinical, research, and extra-academic activities.
Impact:
- The program involves 14 tutors.
- Significant improvements were observed: 50% developed research projects, 60% increased academic activities, 50% improved clinical practice, and 65% defined postgraduate research projects.
- Tutelary training is a valuable method for enhancing graduate quality in Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery.
