Abstract
SILBERMAN, Martín Salvador; SILBERMAN, Pedro and POZZIO, María. Evaluation of a pedagogical proposal in teaching Medicine. Salud colectiva [online]. 2012, vol.8, n.2, pp.175-189. ISSN 1851-8265.
In this article we discuss the role that medical schools play in the creation of a particular profile of health professionals. To this end, we analyze the impact of two field experiences carried out in 2006 and 2009 with students in the Epidemiology course of the Faculty of Medical Sciences in the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). Using individual semistructured questionnaires applied to students as well as focus group strategies, the study sought to obtain information about the ideas and representations of the students before and after these educational experiences. The ability of students to reconsider the explicative models of the health-disease-care process and the weight of social problems in the phenomena of sickness and health is highlighted as one of the study's primary results.
