Profile of Complementary Activities of Last-Year Medical Students at the State University of Feira de Santana, 2009-2017

ABSTRACT Complementary Activities aim at enriching the teaching-learning process, favoring the complementation of social and professional formation, being carried out through academic-scientific-cultural activities, of which objective is to improve the academic training. This article aims to characterize the profile of the complementary activities carried out by last-year medical students from Feira de Santana State University (UEFS), from 2009 to 2017. This was a cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study. Data collection was carried out by reviewing the data contained in the opinions of the course collegiate and certificates delivered by the students. Subsequently, the data were processed using the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0 for Windows, and presented as charts and tables, with subsequent descriptive analysis of the variables of interest. The sample consisted of 171 students, with a predominance of females (56,1%); most of the activities performed by the students took place as participation in scientific events (51,6%); it was observed that cultural and sports activities are not used by the collegiate. The most sought after extracurricular trainings were in the urgency and emergency area (38.5 %); there was an average of 0.93 articles published per student, with Pediatrics being the area with the highest number of publications (24,8%). Moreover, there was a great disparity between the students’ course load and the hours utilized by the course collegiate, with losses of 74% in the extracurricular training activities and 63% in monitoring + scientific initiation + extension activities. The results of this study point to the need to discuss and revise the Complementary Activities Regulations of the UEFS medical course, and may contribute to medical education, for discussing a topic disregarded by most undergraduate medical courses.

摘要 补充活动（Complementary Activities）旨在丰富教学过程，助力社会与职业素养的全面培养，通过学术、科研及文化类活动开展，其核心目标在于提升学术培养质量。本文旨在刻画2009年至2017年间，费拉迪圣安娜州立大学（Feira de Santana State University，UEFS）临床医学专业高年级本科生所参与的补充活动概况。本研究为横断面回顾性描述性研究。数据收集通过梳理课程教学委员会的相关意见及学生提交的证明材料完成。随后，研究采用Windows平台下的社会科学统计软件包（Statistical Package for the Social Sciences，SPSS）20.0版对数据进行处理，并以图表形式呈现，继而对目标变量开展描述性分析。
本次研究样本共包含171名学生，其中女性占比56.1%，为多数群体；学生参与的活动中，以参加学术会议（51.6%）占比最高；研究同时发现，课程教学委员会未将文化与体育类活动纳入补充活动范畴。最受学生青睐的课外培训领域为急诊与急救方向（38.5%）；每名学生平均发表论文0.93篇，其中儿科学领域的发表量最高（24.8%）。此外，学生的课程学分要求与课程教学委员会认定的有效时长存在显著差距：课外培训活动的有效时长缺口达74%，而学业辅导、科研启蒙与拓展活动的有效时长缺口达63%。
本研究结果显示，亟需对UEFS临床医学专业的补充活动管理条例进行讨论与修订；同时，本研究也可为医学教育领域提供参考，填补当前多数临床医学本科专业对此类议题关注不足的空白。
