Evaluación del programa de médico cirujano del Instituto de Ciencias Biomédicas de la Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez

in order to improve the program of surgeon of the instituto de ciencias biomédicas, universidad autónoma de ciudad juárez (uacj) the graduate evaluating procedure was modified. three processes were selected for evaluation by the medical surgeon program during the period 2006-2008 to determine the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of its graduates, which are: the overall grade point average (gpa) and the professional medical exam (pme) taken with real patients at a hospital, evaluated by the uacj, and the general exam for graduates (geg), evaluated by the national center for the evaluation of higher education (ceneval). the evaluation processes were used in order to get a better graduate profile. correlation was obtained between the gpa and the pme but not with the geg, which had a visible percentage difference with respect to the other two processes. while the pme reflected the knowledge gained throughout the program (pme vs. gpa), the geg showed a considerable difference with respect to the other two, probably, because the different disciplines in the program are evaluated asymmetrically by the uacj and ceneval.
