Abstract：
Assessment is an essential component for all educational programs and must check competence acquirement while foster and promote learning. Progress Test (PT) is well recognized to assess cognitive knowledge, clinical reasoning and decision making in the clinical context, offering important information about the individual performance and program quality. It is widely used in Brazilian and international medical schools; however, it still has little role in assessing medical residents in Brazil. We present the experience of a PT pilot implementation in an Infectious Diseases residency program over two years. The first, second and third-year residents did four serial exams with 40 multiple choice questions (item)/each. Preceptors were trained on best practices on item writing. All the items were reviewed by a panel of experts and, after approval, included in the item bank. All participants answered a survey on their perceptions about the experience. The final score was higher for the third-year residents in all exam applications. The level of satisfaction was high among the participants, who mentioned the learning opportunity with the exam and the feedback. PT can improve residents\' assessment along the training period and residents\' performance should guide review and improvement of the programs.
摘要：
评估是所有教育计划的重要组成部分，必须检查能力的获得，同时促进和促进学习。进度测试(PT)是公认的评估认知知识，临床背景下的临床推理和决策，提供有关个人表现和节目质量的重要信息。它在巴西和国际医学院广泛使用;然而，它在评估巴西的医疗居民方面仍然没有什么作用。我们介绍了两年来在传染病居住计划中实施PT试点的经验。第一,二年级和三年级居民进行了四次连续考试，每次40道多项选择题（项目）。对受体进行了项目写作最佳实践培训。所有项目都由专家小组审查，批准后,包含在项目库中。所有参与者都回答了他们对体验的看法的调查。在所有考试申请中，三年级居民的最终分数更高。参与者的满意度很高，他在考试和反馈中提到了学习机会。PT可以在培训期间改善居民的评估，居民的表现应指导计划的审查和改进。
