About

Our primary objective is identifying the degree of self-perceived competence in medical students without clinical rotations during the COVID-19 pandemic to know how prepared the students could be when they are professionals because they lack clinical skills in front of an actual patient and can be affected to be accepted in hospitals because they will have to acquire a phase of training later. Without a clinical rotation, one can be deprived of the essential educational value.The study design is an observational cross-section study in which an anonymous survey will be shared online on Google Forms platform. Students will be asked for their participation; after obtaining verbal and consent, the survey will be distributed using social media groups such as foundation school groups. For this study, the Spanish version of the Self-Perceived Competence scale will be used (REF). This scale is comprised of 21 questions divided into five factors that assess: 1) demonstration of the essential clinical skills, 2) demonstration of clinical reasoning, decision making, and problem-solving skills, 3) management of life-threatening medical conditions, 4) management of common medical problems and 5) placing patients' needs and safety at the center of the care process. Each item has a Likert scale answers of 4 options ranging from "incompetent (1)", "somewhat incompetent (2)", "somewhat.
