FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT EXPERIENCE IN A MULTIPROFESSIONAL HEALTH RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Abstract

Introduction: The Multiprofessional Residency in Health was regulated through L aw no 11,129, being a lato sensu postgraduate modality, interdisciplinary in nature and organized in areas of knowledge concentration. Residency programs in the health area aim to promote the training of professionals based on the principles and guidelines of the Unified Health System, based on care practices guided by the needs of people-families-community and local-regional
realities. Objective: To present the experience of an activity with formative assessment carried out by the local preceptor with resident professionals from a multi-professional residency program. Experience report: The application of formative assessment was carried out
by a Nursing preceptor with first-year residents of a multidisciplinary health residency, at a public hospital in the northern region of Brazil. The activity had the participation of six residents and four preceptors, with a workload of four hours. The activity was divided into
four moments. A reflective portfolio was used with experiences from the module carried out in the first months of residency, a conversation was held with the actors and a dynamic was held to support subsequent integration. Residents actively participated in the evaluation process, expressing their reflections and self-evaluations. Conclusion: Formative assessment can contribute to the dynamics of assessment during the residency period, as it brings the relationship between the preceptor and the resident professional closer, helping to diagnose the learning situation. It is concluded that the use of formative assessment helps in the training of active and critical residents.
