ABSTRACT
This project aims to complement and homogenise the teaching of indications and technique of digital rectal examination (DRE) through the use of simulators, and subsequently analysed the level of satisfaction with the training and skills acquired. The students were distributed into small groups. One of the workshop's coordinators synthesised indications and procedures of DRE. A teaching video was made with all the contents and was distributed between the trainers. During the workshop, trainers explained the indications and the method of performing the DRE. Then, the selected clinical cases were presented, followed by the DRE by specific simulators. Once the students had completed each exploration, the trainers explained each case and discussed it with students. The following week, an anonymous questionnaire was given to participants to evaluate the workshop. Of the 232 participating students, 53 (23%) responded to the questionnaire. The overall level of satisfaction was higher than 98% (score 4-5), reaching 100% in the evaluation of the practical contents, and 93% of the students would recommend the continuity of the workshop in the next courses. The DRE workshop was well received among medical students, with a high degree of voluntary participation and response rate to the subsequent survey. With this project, we have achieved a greater homogenisation of teaching within the subject of Urology, and greater confidence for the students when facing their future clinical practice.
