Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate the current application of surgical competency (SC) assessment tools in residences accredited by the AAOT. There was also interest in knowing the types of assessment tools used, the knowledge of the different evaluation instruments and what type of evaluation they use for the promotion of the year. We analyzed whether there were differences in the characteristics between the residences that evaluate the SCs and those that do not. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was carried out, for which a survey was developed focused on assessing how many residences evaluate the SCs with a formal tool. In addition, through the survey it was possible to answer the secondary objectives. It was sent to the chief of residency of the 123 accredited residencies. Results: 105 (85.4%) responses were obtained, 59% (62) used some type of tool for the evaluation of the SC. Only 12.9% (8/62) of the tools used evaluate the SC in a specific way but the majority assed them with a general score. 61% (64/105) know the tools available. For the promotion of the year, the majority use multiple periodic evaluations for clinical and surgical competencies (63.8% and 67.6% respectively). No significant differences were found in the characteristics of the residences that evaluate SC and those that do not. Conclusions: 59% of the residences implement some score or tool for the evaluation of SC, the majority perform the evaluation with a subjective global score. Only the 12.9% evaluate the SC specifically.
