title: [Evaluation of theoretical teaching of the French diploma of medical gynecology].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  As far as the reform of the "Diplômes d'études spécialisées" (DES) is approaching, a first national evaluation of the Medical Gynecology diploma was necessary. The objective was to evaluate the practices of the theoretical teaching with the whole students, by receiving their opinions and their wishes of changing, and by proposing some improving measures.
  
  
  METHODS
  The self-evaluation form made by members of the Association of residents (AIGM) and the Teacher's College (CNEGM) was submitted to the students during the national teaching session of June 2014.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Fifty-six results were gathered among 145 students enrolled at the DES (38.6 %). Twelve half days of national theoretical training are yearly scheduled. The accordance of the national theoretical training to the level of the students was assessed on average at 7.8 (VAS from 0 to 10). The scientific and pedagogical skills of the speakers are evaluated at 8.9 and 7.8. The theoretical training of the diploma was considered as satisfying for 76.6 % of the respondents.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Despite a globally satisfying evaluation, some points can be improved in the organization of the diploma. The introduction of courses about establishment, medical acts and imaging, the implementation of gradual progress teaching, the development of hands-on training and practical works, reciprocal evaluation of the students and the teachings/teachers, should be set up.
