To find out how Mexican residents in urology perceive their own level of training in comparison with how residents in Europe perceive theirs.
A questionnaire of self-assessment was distributed to 104 European and 24 Mexican urologists-in-training. We assessed the perception of residents about their level of training and factors associated with self-perceived performance.
Mean age of 128 residents was 32.69 +/- 3.33 years. Mexican residents spent significantly more time in urological departments than European residents. The weekly amount of hours spent at work was higher in Europe; while the number of residents per hospital was higher in Mexico. Mexican residents reported more reliable support from a supervising senior. European residents perceived they had a superior level regarding transplantation in female urology and urinary lithiasis, whereas Mexican residents felt more confident regarding urological infections and paediatric urology. Factors associated with better self-perceived performance were the number of months in urology, the number of non-urologic rotations and a supervising senior.
Mexican residents in urology perceive that their own level of training is similar to that of European residents. The number of months of training in urology, the number of non-urologic rotations and a supporting senior are associated with a better self-perceived performance.
了解墨西哥泌尿科住院医师如何看待自己的培训水平，与欧洲住院医师的看法相比。
向 104 名欧洲和 24 名墨西哥泌尿科住院医师发放了自我评估问卷。我们评估了住院医师对自己培训水平的看法以及与自我表现相关的因素。
128 名住院医师的平均年龄为 32.69 +/- 3.33 岁。墨西哥住院医师在泌尿科的工作时间明显长于欧洲住院医师。欧洲的每周工作时间更长，而墨西哥的每个医院的住院医师人数更多。墨西哥住院医师报告说他们得到了上级更可靠的支持。欧洲住院医师认为他们在女性泌尿科和尿石症方面具有更高的移植水平，而墨西哥住院医师则对泌尿科感染和小儿泌尿科更有信心。与更好的自我表现相关的因素是泌尿科的培训月数、非泌尿科轮转次数和上级指导。
