• Abstract:

  Goal: Review articles that address different assessment tools and methods based on competences of the Resident Doctor in Family and Community Medicine. Methodology: This is an integrative review with the following research question “What are the strategies, pointed out in the literature, for a competence-based assessment of the resident physician in Family and Community Medicine?”, with a search for references through the exploration of a database. Dice: Publisher Medline (PubMed) and Virtual Health Library (BVS), using the following descriptors and their combinations: “family medicine”, “residency”, “assessment” and ‘competency”. Articles published in the last 10 years, which had full text, in English and Portuguese, that related to the research topic were included. 

  Result: From a total of 6 articles, 4 different competency-based assessment methods were extracted and analyzed: 1- Clinical Assessment Mini-Exercise (Miniex), 2- Milestones, 3- Competency-Based Achievement System (CBAS), and 4- Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). Conslusion: Knowledge about these tools and their correct use enables an integral, complete and practical assessment of students, especially in a scenario where the need for competent assessment methods that accompany the advancement of competency-based curricula grows. These innovative assessment methods enable the Family and Community Medicine resident to actively participate in the teaching-learning process, making it evolve more consistently during the residency program.
