Professional Identity and Professionalism Assessment in Three Medical Schools in Latin America
Objective
To assess the development of professional identity and professionalism in medical students based on the use of an app to systematize experiences in a virtual portfolio.
Impact
The project will be conducted in three Schools of Medicine: Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico), Universidad de Los Andes (Colombia), and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Chile). It will involve the participation of 110 students per institution in the initial clinical phase for a period of one year.
Upon completion of the project, qualitative and quantitative assessments of the professional identity of medical students in the three institutions should be available, in addition to a profile of critical factors of professional identity recognized by the students and an assessment of behaviors related to professionalism.

Implementation of a National Network for Practices and Research using the Progress Test
Objective
To increase the number of Brazilian schools that adopt progress testing in their student assessment programs by implementing a Rede Nacional de Práticas e Pesquisa com o Teste de Progresso (National Network for Practices and Research using the Progress Test, RNTP).
Impact
The project will be led by the Universidade Estadual Paulista (São Paulo State University), the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Campinas State University) and the Associação Brasileira de Educação Médica (Brazilian Association for Medical Education).
Implementation of the RNTP will provide the opportunity to exchange experiences among the schools using the test as a means for student assessment. In the future, periodic national examinations will be able to provide consistent data regarding knowledge acquisition among Brazilian medical students.
