We know of few studies in the international scientific literature that specifically address the evaluation of surgical and clinical progress among physicians undergoing specialist training in maxillofacial surgery. Identifying a reliable tool to accurately assess both theoretical knowledge and surgical skills of trainees is essential. The primary aim of this study therefore was to design a comprehensive assessment tool that is capable of evaluating both the theoretical and practical skills of physicians undergoing specialist training in maxillofacial surgery. The methodology employed aims to ensure fairness and effectiveness in skills development, thereby optimising training activities. To meet this need, an evaluation and self-assessment test was developed for maxillofacial surgery trainees at the Ospedali Riuniti of Ancona. Data collection involved digitally administered evaluations and self-assessment tests focused on maxillofacial traumatology, based on AO trauma surgery references. Data were processed into graphs which revealed a progressive learning trend following an initial adjustment phase, leading to optimal outcomes in both clinical and surgical domains. The evaluation and self-assessment test proved to be a valuable learning tool with which to gauge advancements in clinical and surgical skills among maxillofacial surgery residents.
我们在国际科学文献中很少发现专门针对颌面外科专科培训医生的手术和临床进展评估的研究。确定一种可靠的工具来准确评估学员的理论知识和手术技能至关重要。因此，本研究的主要目的是设计一种综合评估工具，能够评估颌面外科专科培训医生的理论和实践技能。所采用的方法旨在确保技能发展的公平性和有效性，从而优化培训活动。为了满足这一需求，在安科纳的 Ospedali Riuniti 为颌面外科实习医生开发了评估和自我评估测试。数据采集涉及基于 AO 创伤外科参考的数字化管理评估和颌面创伤学自我评估测试。数据被处理成图表，显示出在初始调整阶段之后的渐进学习趋势，从而在临床和外科领域都取得了最佳结果。评估和自我评估测试被证明是一种有价值的学习工具，可以衡量颌面外科住院医师在临床和手术技能方面的进步。
