Introduction
Competency-based medical education (CBME) has been implemented in postgraduate medical education, and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) seem appropriate for operationalizing it. However, the association between residents´ self-perceived confidence in performing EPAs and entrustment levels assigned by a Clinical Competence Committee (CCC) must be better understood. We aimed to compare general surgery residents' self-assessment of confidence to perform EPAs and entrustment levels assigned by a CCC.
Material and methods
Cross-sectional study conducted in the General Surgery Residency Program at Santa Casa BH Hospital between March and May 2023. Residents self-assessed their confidence to perform 16 EPAs using a 5-point entrustment scale. Confidence levels were compared to entrustment levels assigned by the CCC. A comparison was performed separately for each EPA and by EPA characteristics (clinical surgical vs. procedural and simple x complex).
Results
There was a significant difference between the self-assessed confidence levels and the autonomy levels assigned by the CCC in nine of the 16 EPAs. Residents' self-assessment levels were higher than those assigned by the CCC for clinical surgical EPAs (4.3 ± 0.8 vs. 3.2 ± 1.4, respectively; p < 0.001) and simple EPAs (2.8 ± 1.0 vs. 2.2 ± 0.8, respectively; p = 0.023). In procedural and complex EPAs, this difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05).
Conclusion
Residents tended to overestimate their level of autonomy, especially for clinical-surgical EPAs and simpler EPAs.
基于能力的医学教育(CBME)已经在研究生医学教育中实施,而可信赖的专业活动(EPAs)似乎适合于实施它。然而,必须更好地理解居民对执行EPAs的自我感知信心与临床能力委员会(CCC)指定的委托水平之间的关系。我们的目的是比较普通外科住院医师对执行EPAs的信心自我评估和CCC指定的委托水平。材料和方法在2023年3月至5月期间在Santa Casa BH医院的普通外科住院医师项目中进行的横断面研究。居民们用5分制的委托量表自我评估了他们执行16项环境保护措施的信心。将置信水平与CCC指定的委托水平进行比较。分别对每种EPA和EPA特征进行比较(临床手术vs.程序和简单x复杂)。结果16个评价对象中有9个评价对象的自评信心水平与CCC赋予的自主水平存在显著性差异。居民对临床外科EPAs的自我评价水平高于CCC(分别为4.3 ± 0.8 vs. 3.2 ± 1.4);p <; 0.001)和简单EPAs(分别为2.8 ± 1.0 vs. 2.2 ± 0.8); = 0.023页)。在程序性和复杂EPAs中,这一差异无统计学意义(p >; 0.05)。结论住院医师倾向于高估他们的自主水平,特别是对于临床外科辅助护理和简单的辅助护理。

Introduction
Simulation-based learning (SBL) has become a key tool in medical education by providing safe, realistic, and immersive experiences that strengthen students' clinical competencies. Despite its benefits, it faces challenges such as high costs and limitations in realism. This study analyzes the trends, collaboration, and impact of scientific production on SBL in medical education.
Materials and methods
A descriptive bibliometric study was conducted using the Scopus database. Original articles published between 2019 and 2024 were selected. Indicators of productivity, impact, and collaboration were analyzed using SciVal, Excel, and the Bibliometrix package in RStudio.
Results
A total of 791 publications were identified. The most productive institutions were the University of Copenhagen, Harvard University, and the University of California at San Francisco. Canada showed the highest field-weighted citation impact. Scientific output increased progressively, particularly in Q1 and Q2 journals. The most frequent terms were “simulation training,” “clinical competence,” and “medical education,” with emerging terms such as “virtual reality.” The United States led international collaboration, followed by active networks in Europe and Brazil. The most prominent authors were Konge and Andersen, with recurrent publications in BMC Medical Education and Simulation in Healthcare.
Conclusion
Scientific production on SBL in medical education shows a growing trend, with high international collaboration and the incorporation of emerging technologies, establishing it as a fundamental pedagogical strategy in modern medical training.

Introduction
In medicine, students' expectations and motivations may vary by gender, influencing their perception of academic satisfaction, but these aspects have been little studied in Argentina. The objective was to identify factors associated with academic satisfaction in medical students by gender.
Materials and method
Study using secondary data from the National Survey of Medical Students. The population included 2,301 first and fifth year students (1,820 women and 481 men). The dependent variable was academic satisfaction. The independent variables included personal motivations, sociodemographic characteristics, educational factors, analyzed using the CHAID model (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector). The analysis also included descriptive tests and calculation of metrics such as sensitivity, specificity and Odds Ratio.
Results
The CHAID model identified that, among women aged ≤ 22 who valued fulfilling their dreams and working with different people, satisfaction reached 87.60% (node 8). Among men, the node sequence involving the importance of fulfilling dreams and improving society showed a satisfaction level of 86.90% (node 3). The model analysis yielded solid performance metrics: sensitivity of 87.60% and specificity of 73.10% in women (node 8); and sensitivity of 60.60% and specificity of 68.50% in men (node 3). The odds ratio was 2.61 for women and 3.35 for men, suggesting a stronger association between these conditions and higher levels of academic satisfaction, without implying a causal relationship.
Conclusions
Young female medical students showed higher levels of academic satisfaction under specific motivational conditions, although this satisfaction appeared to decrease as they progressed through their studies. Among male students, the observed associations between motivational factors and satisfaction were less consistent.

The impact of virtual reality (VR) on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for students at Universidad Icesi was investigated, based on the principles of constructivism and deliberate practice.
Methods
This research-action study included resource validation through the UNE standards, performance rubrics, and focus groups. Qualitative data were analyzed using ATLAS.ti and triangulated with predefined categories. For quantitative data, measures of central tendency and dispersion were calculated according to their distribution. A Student’s t-test was used to compare means, and an ANOVA was performed for students with three attempts, with significance set at p < 0.05.
Results
The resource received an overall rating of 93.48%, exceeding the minimum validation criteria. Students improved their scores on the evaluation rubric, with a 33% increase (95% CI: 29–37%; p = 0.00) after immediate repetition and an 18% increase (SD 13%) at two months. In the subgroup with three attempts, ANOVA revealed significant differences in scores (p = 0.00), with consistently significant post hoc comparisons between each pair of attempts. Students highlighted VR’s interactivity and realism as key factors in enhancing their motivation.
Conclusion
VR improved student performance following immediate repetition and suggests that skill retention occurs in the medium term. The interactivity and realism of VR increased student motivation and engagement, reinforcing their learning. The potential of VR as a complement to traditional teaching methodologies is emphasized to optimize training in critical areas such as CPR.

Introduction
The assessment of diagnostic competence in health situations is essential in medical education, but traditional strategies often limit the development of critical thinking. This study analyzes the use of oral clinical cases as an assessment tool to enhance this competence in students of Medical Semiotics II.
Methods
A mixed-methods study with an intrinsic and interpretative case study design was conducted with 80 fifth-semester medical students at Universidad Icesi. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, evaluation rubrics, and non-participant observation. Data analysis was categorical, allowing key patterns to be identified from various sources.
Results
The strategy promoted skills such as metacognition and clinical reasoning. Students positively valued immediate feedback, while faculty members highlighted its practical applicability. Logistical challenges and the need to establish standardized evaluation criteria were identified.
Conclusion
Oral clinical cases are an effective strategy for formative assessment in medical education, fostering diagnostic competencies in real-life scenarios and strengthening skills such as clinical reasoning and reflection. Immediate feedback was identified as a key element in recognizing strengths and areas for improvement. However, standardizing evaluation criteria and enhancing faculty training are necessary to optimize the impact of this strategy on medical education.
