Abstract

Objectives: To compare 360-degree evaluation scores of postgraduate residents during 1st and 2nd cycles of evaluation to analyze the acquisition of core competencies. Materials & Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was done to compare the acquisition of core competencies as per ACGME by MS/MD residents in 3 public sector teaching hospitals of Rawalpindi. The enrolled residents have undergone 1st and 2nd cycle of 360-degree evaluation from Jan-June 2018 and July 2018 Jan 2019 respectively. The data was gathered from supervisors, faculty, nursing staff, patients, and their attendants by structured proforma. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 25.0. Specialty-wise scores were statistically presented with 95% CI. Differences in scores of core competencies during both cycles were determined by independent sample t-test. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: About 93 and 113 trainees were evaluated during 1st and 2nd cycles of evaluation respectively. Most (41.70%) of them were 1st-year residents. 2nd cycle of evaluation revealed statistically significant improvement (P<0.00001) in all 6 core competencies. Feedback from the patients also illustrated a significant difference in scores of both cycles (P = 0.01). Trainees of MS Surgery & Allied programs were determined as highly competent with a 250.06 ± 38.57 score followed by those of MD Medicine & Allied (247.59 ± 42.15) and Gynecology & Obstetrics (246.71 ± 46.26) out of a total score of 331. Residents of HFH and DHQ Hospital had statistically significant enhancement of competencies (P<0.0001) than those of BBH (P=0.003). Conclusion: There was a substantial enhancement of core competencies among postgraduate trainees.
