    CONTEXT: In Brazil, obstetricians and gynecologists are not required to submit to periodical evaluations to ascertain their professional competence in dealing with new concepts and therapies. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of a group of obstetricians and gynecologists on a written evidence-based obstetrics test and determine their opinions and use of systematic reviews. TYPE OF STUDY: Prospective cohort. SETTING: Brazilian Obstetrics and Gynecology Congress 2001. METHODS: 230 doctors agreed to participate in the study during a national obstetrics and gynecology congress. Participants took an individual anonymous written multiple-choice test with seven questions on clinical obstetrics, one question on the interpretation of a meta-analysis graph and two questions on their opinions and actual use of systematic reviews. Scores were analyzed and compared after grouping the participants according to year of graduation, residence training, doctoral program and faculty status. RESULTS: The general average score was 49.2 ± 17.4. The scores tended to decline as the years since graduation advanced. Doctors who graduated in the last five years had higher scores than those who graduated over 25 years ago (52.2 versus 42.9). The performance did not vary according to medical residence, postgraduate program or teaching status. While 98.2% considered systematic reviews relevant, only 54.9% said that they routinely used this source of information. DISCUSSION: The participants' average score was low, even though they were highly qualified and trained. Despite the limitations of the study, the results are worrisome. If motivated physicians participating in a national congress obtained such low scores, we can speculate that the results might be even worse among other doctors that do not attend these events. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that Brazilian obstetricians and gynecologists could benefit from continuing medical education and raise questions about the recycling methods currently available.

    A participação da indústria farmacêutica no processo de atualização dos médicos: impacto do suporte financeiro das empresas no eventos científicos e projetos de educação continuada desenvolvidos pela Sociedade Brasileira de Clínica Médica, Federação Brasileira das Sociedades de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia e Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia

    Este trabalho teve por finalidade conhecer a participação da iniciativa privada em projetos de educação continuada e congressos organizados pela Federação Brasileira das Associações de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, Sociedade Brasileira de Clínica Médica e Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, com objetivo de aferir se estas sociedades poderiam organizar eventos e demais projetos sem o patrocínio externo e saber se as empresas que apóiam financeiramente tais atividades interferem na sua elaboração. A coleta de dados foi feita através de uma entrevista semi-estruturada aberta com os presidentes das três sociedades médicas. Os achados mostram que as instituições pesquisadas não poderiam arcar com os custos dos projetos de educação continuada sem o patrocínio das empresas farmacêuticas, e que 65% dos projetos desenvolvidos são integralmente financiados pelas mesmas. Outro dado importante é que a iniciativa privada não influencia o conteúdo científico dos projetos que patrocinam ou congressos dos quais participam, cabendo integralmente às entidades médicas pesquisadas a definição dos temas e autores.
