Abstract

ÖZTÜRK KAYGUSUZ T. Development of Progress Test In Postgraduate Medıcal Educatıon In Infectıous Dıseases and Clınıcal Mıcrobıology Specıalızatıon. Hacettepe University, Graduate School of Health Sciences, Medical Education Program, Master's Thesis Ankara, 2023. Standardizing and structuring the formative, synchronized online exams held twice a year for medical residency students studying in the field of infectious diseases and clinical microbiology by the Education and Qualification Board of the Turkish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (EMEK) in line with guideline recommendations (AMEE 71), It is aimed to transform it into a developmental exam format and demonstrating its applicability. The researchers planned this study as an intervention and descriptive study, and they took two consecutive exams during the study process. 301 and 322 medical residency students participated in these exams, which is called the Specialty Education Development Exam (EMEK) and held as Spring and Autumn 2021 semester exams. It was determined that the EMEKs held before we made the study for the purpose of the development exam, but they did not meet the development exam standards. EMEKs were examined within the scope of development exam standards, and it was seen that these exams need to be structured in the stages of creating questions, exam administration, analysis and examination of results, and feedback to stakeholders. In this thesis study, we reported the results of the exams to the stakeholders; we calculated the question analyses and the reliability of the exams and we gave feedback to the trainers and the exam board. We noted improvements in the results analysis, review, and feedback to stakeholders. We found the median scores of the medical residency students who took both exams in the spring and autumn semesters exams to be 68.52±9.4 and 71.84±13.7. We found the difference between them to be statistically significant (p<0.001). According to the spring semester exam, we saw that 123 students increased their scores in the autumn semester exam, 82 students decreased their scores, and 20 medical residency students kept their scores.
