ABSTRACT
Introduction: Any position profile involves transversal competencies; these are part of the area of behavior and reflect personality traits, they are also an indispensable requirement in most jobs.Objective: To identify the transversal skills present in resident physicians in their work performance.
Methods: An observational, descriptive, and qualitative-quantitative study was carried out. The sample consisted of 20 resident physicians who answered anonymously to a written survey. Each question was given a score, and the answers were evaluated as good, fair and bad.
Results: 55% of respondents do not know about transversal skills; 60% believe that the combination and interrelation of knowledge between technical and transversal skills are useful; the skills with the best position were responsibility, with 96.6%; and creativity, with 92%. On the other hand, those with the greatest weakness were ethics, with 21.6%; working under pressure, with 21%; and resilience, with 19%.
Conclusions: The knowledge about transversal skills is fair. There is a preference for the interrelation of technical and transversal skills; they are creative and responsible, while ethics, resilience and working under pressure were the most difficult skills in performance.
