ABSTRACT

As part of the design of an instrument to evaluate the certification of the Mexican Council of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in Mexico, the validation process of the construct to be evaluated was carried out. According to the literature consulted, medical education is based on competencies, so it is coherent to carry out an evaluation in the same vein. It was decided to use Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA), as they provide a link between the competence and the observable activity that the supporter can perform. A four-phase methodology was carried out, starting with a bibliographic review that defined a list of EPAs in order to validate them for the Mexican context. The second phase consisted of using the technique of focus groups, representing the medical regions defined by FEMECOG in the country, once the information from the groups had been collected and analysed in the third phase, and the final phase consisted of validation by 10 experts in gynaecology and obstetrics, in order to achieve a level of agreement of more than 80% in each EPA. As a result of this validation process of the construct to be evaluated, a list of 15 EPAs with scopes (definition of the boundaries of the EPAs, where they start and how far they end) was obtained with a level of acceptance greater than 80%, in addition to confirming the effectiveness of the qualitative methodology to carry out validations when the interested parties who could participate in defining areas or topics are not available due to their work activities.
