Abstract

Medical residency is considered the gold standard of specialization and professional training courses, and due the lack of studies with preceptors in the northern region, it was necessary characterize these professionals. The objective was to determine the demographic and educational profile of the medical residency programs preceptors, their performance and knowledge of active learning methodologies. A descriptive survey was carried out, with a quantitative approach, approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of the Federal University of Amazonas (CAAE: 64129422.4.0000.5020), with the application of an online questionnaire made available by the Google Forms ® Platform to the preceptors of the Hospital Universitário Getúlio Vargas (HUGV /UFAM). 128 preceptors participated, mean of 48.06 ± 14.14 years; 51% female; 57% with more than 15 years of service; 49.21% with a workload of 20-40 h/week; 51.56% in the statutory regime and 46.09% with a stricto sensu graduate degree. Most did not undergo specific training (57%) or adopt teaching and learning methodologies (65%), referring lack of time (85%), despite their interest in the area. The average age corresponds to experienced preceptors, working under a statutory regime, generally more than 15 years of experience, where the length of experience positively influences the quality of preceptorship. They have a stricto sensu graduate degree, characteristic of developing countries, but deny pedagogical training in medical education. The participants are similar to the demographic profile of the other studies, generally reporting difficulties in obtaining updates in the area of ​​medical education, despite their interest in teaching-related activities.
