Aprendizaje de estrategias para aplicación de ciencia en la educación médica

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to describe practices designed to help students learn how to access, use, and develop information. This is an analytical study of the activities performed in medical undergraduate classes. The evaluation of the courses was of formative type, aimed at the identification, evaluation and application of data to solve clinically structured questions and problem situations. Students identified and reviewed conceptual content in systematic reviews, controlled clinical studies, and cohort studies. They also solved problem scenarios in class that were constantly reviewed as formative evaluation. The results show that students were able to develop strategies to apply science in the form of evidence to solve health problems. These experiences are a minor part of the curriculum. Therefore, it is concluded that more subjects incorporating the practices designed in this study are required to train doctors to make them capable of learning permanently and autonomously.
