FLORES-COHAILA, Javier  e  RIVAROLA-HIDALGO, Marco. Past academic achievement as a predictor of the national exam of medicine: a cross-sectional study from Peru. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2022, vol.25, n.6, pp.243-247.  Epub 13-Mar-2023. ISSN 2014-9840.  https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.256.1244.

Introduction.

The national examination of medicine (ENAM) is a licensing exam taken in Peru to practice medicine. Its main goal is to ensure quality of care from medical doctors in Peru. It provides competitive advantages in the awarding of rural service and postulation to medical specialties depending on performance. All these aspects set the ENAM as a milestone in the professional career. Our objective was to determine the correlation between the weighted university average and the ENAM in students at a Peruvian university, as well as to identify predictors of performance for the exam.

Materials and methods.

An analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out.

Results.

Of the 46 students, only 45 were included, the mean score obtained was 12.4. The factors with the highest correlation were university weighted average (r = 0.64) and progress exam performance taken at the same university (r = 0.64); in the multivariate analysis a university weighted average above 13 had an odds ratio of 0.62 to obtain a passing grade in the ENAM.

Conclusions.

Academic performance during undergraduate is the strongest predictor of favorable performance on the ENAM.
