Abstract
- The study was designed to illustrate how residents perceive the Mini Clinical Examination Exercise as an assessment tool and its influence on their approach to learning and studying. A phenomenographic approach was applied. All 16 residents from a cardiology training program in Buenos Aires were included. Results show that in all cases residents demonstrate an intrinsic interest in the subject matter. They show self-regulating strategies when required to select, relate and make critical appraisals of their own. They consistently demonstrate an aim to build a relationship between individual experience and their chosen topic. The residents feel comfortable because it melds with their routine. Residents find the Mini Clinical Examination Exercise to be a useful assessment tool with a favorable influence towards a constructive approach to study and learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
