Abstract :Backround: The aim of this study is to evaluate how competent family medicine residents see themselves in the interventional competency goals targeted in emergency medicine rotation and the factors associated with their competency levels. Methods: The study is a methodological and cross-sectional study carried out between 01 May-31 October 2022. 138 family medicine residents who completed their emergency medicine rotation and agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. In the questionnaire used to collect data in the study, there were the Emergency Medicine Rotation Interventional Competence Scale (EMRICS) developed by the researchers based on the family medicine specialty training curriculum and sociodemographic characteristics. Results: The mean ages of the study group 29.71±4.27 (Mean±SD) years, and 60.10% (n:83) were women. The mean scores obtained from the scale in the study group were 59.86±11.72 (Mean±SD). While the interventional competence in which family physician residents had the highest proficiency was arterial blood gas with 97.80% (n:135), the lowest was tracheostomy with 15.20% (n:21). Evaluation of BLS (p:0.037), intubation (p:0.028), tracheostomy (p:0.034), trauma patient assessment (p:0.004) in the study group who applied five or more applications received higher EMRICS than those who did not apply at all. Conclusion: In order to achieve the desired competence in interventional competency goals, it is recommended to be repeated at least 5 times.
