    Introduction: The use of echocardiography performed by neonatologists (EchoN) to optimize the cardiovascular management of critically ill newborns is increasing. In order to guarantee a standard of excellence and protect patients from misinterpretation, structured training is necessary. However, so far, there is no standardization of training in EchoN, nor studies that prove the effectiveness of the applied models. Objective: To assess the success of a theoretical-practical course of EchoN in the training of neonatologists and neonatal fellows, and to study if some variables, such as the demographic and motivational profile of trainees, are associated with the training success. Method: From March/2019 to February/2021, a prospective cohort of 28 neonatologists, graduated or in training, who underwent a 6-month basic training in EchoN, was studied. Before starting the course, a pre-test was applied, and students with prior knowledge were excluded from the study. In addition, a demographic questionnaire and an Academic Motivation Scale were applied. An 18-hour theoretical course was applied and material for distance learning was available. A 36-hour hands-on practical training was given. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, modifications were made to the 2020 course, and the theoretical course and evaluation were moved to online format. After completing the course, students underwent theoretical evaluation (multiple-choice test and videos) and practical test (complete exam with evaluation of image quality, identification of structures and measurements of some basic echocardiographic variables). Students who obtained at least 70% in both the theoretical and practical tests were considered qualified. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between successful training and demographic data, motivational profile and year of the course. Results: The training was effective in qualifying 53.5% of the students who attended the course. The main variable associated with the success of the training was the year: 68.8% of students who attended the training in 2019 were qualified vs. 33.3% of those who took the training in 2020. It was not possible to demonstrate an association between demographic data and motivational profile with success in training. Conclusion: The course offered the neonatologists and neonatal fellows was effective in basic training in EchoN, but the year 2020 proved to be a strong modulator of students’ performance. Analysis of the interference of the COVID-19 pandemic on the success of EchoN training may help to discuss the design and implementation of different strategies to optimize medical education.

    Capacitação na atenção à saúde do adolescente: experiência de ensino
    (Associação Brasileira de Educação Médica, 2010-09-01) Vitalle, Maria Sylvia de Souza [UNIFESP]; Almeida, Regina Guise de; Silva, Flávia Calanca da [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de São Paulo
    This study aimed to assess the operational education received by pediatricians in a training course on Comprehensive Health Care for Adolescents. The course was held at the Department of Adolescent Medicine of UNIFESP and included 10% of the pediatricians working in the São Paulo municipal health system, with theoretical and practical activities, technical visits, intervention/case supervision, and support for updates in the most relevant health conditions in this age bracket. The pediatricians were tested before and after the course with multiple-choice questions and with a open-ended questionairy. Of the 120 pediatricians enrolled, 85 completed the course, 73 (85.8%) of whom were women. They had been working as pediatricians for an average of 18 years. Perceived themselves as more capable of providing better health care, working in multi-professional teams, developing educational activities, diagnosing diseases and risk situations, preventing diseases, discussing cases and strategies with other professionals, and multiplying knowledge. The results suggest that the training model is suitable for providing operational education to professionals already in the job market, althougn requires continuous acquisition of new knowledge and the refinement of previously acquired knowledge.
