CAMACHO, Francisco José  y  ROJAS, Manuel Andrés. Determining levels of competence for basic training in microsurgery. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2016, vol.31, n.4, pp.240-247. ISSN 2011-7582.

Introduction. The level of competence is the measure of skills and abilities that a student should achieve. Our objective was to determine the parameters that allow evaluating the performance of each participant during the activities programmed as part of the surgical training. Materials and methods. A plan of activities for training in microsurgery was developed, evaluating the performance of 71 students of different medical specialties. Parameters were determined for each exercise and the performance of each participant was determined against the scope of the programmed objectives: parametrics, precision, cutting, suture and microsurgical tying. Results. The objectives proposed for activities in parametrics were achieved in 80.3%, 33.8% in cigarettes, writing 74.6% and 93%, gauze 55%, 88,7% and 76% in suture activities 93% and 70,4%; symmetry 90,1%, and finally in biomodel 80,2%, 78,8% and 81,7% respectively. Discussion. Based upon the fulfillment of the proposed objectives and through a plan of variable exercises, an efficient training program was developed in order to allow the student achieving in a sequential and ascending manner the fundamental skills in microsurgery.
