Evaluation of Usability, Perception of Usefulness, and Efficiency of an Application in Interpreting Imaging Examinations and Supporting Decision-Making in Orthopedics.

Medical smartphone applications have rendered positive results in daily practice and also serve as potentially valuable educational tools. In orthopedics, radiograph analysis and angle measurements comprise an essential mechanism in the diagnosis, treatment, planning, and evaluation of the results in orthopedic surgery. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate an application for mobile devices for orthopedic doctors and orthopedic residents.

Construction of a competence-based curriculum for internship in obstetrics and gynecology within the medical course at the Federal University of Ceará (Sobral campus).

Context And Objective: This research project arose from a proposal made to the teachers by the students of a medical course at a federal university in Brazil, from their personal experiences regarding the skills and competencies that should be developed during the obstetrics and gynecology (OBG) stage of the internship. The objective here was to develop the matrix of skills necessary for training good general physicians in the medical course.

Design And Setting: Exploratory qualitative study conducted in a federal university in Brazil.
