Comunicación en el currículo médico

Contenido principal del artículo

Claudia Elena Villegas Stellyes

Resumen

En esta revisión se hace una aproximación sobre la integración de la dimensión comunicativa en el ámbito de la educación médica, al reconocerla como eje central de los currículos en salud y por su relevancia en la relación clínica. A partir del contexto actual en el ejercicio médico, sus problemáticas y necesidades, se plantean alternativas de enseñanza que favorece el desarrollo de capacidades y competencias en comunicación por parte del estudiante. Este acercamiento inicial, además de considerar el significado de una adecuada comunicación, da cuenta de los principales referentes globales que han servido como directriz a diferentes escuelas de medicina para la definición de los currículos. En la elaboración de estas propuestas curriculares, se han considerado aspectos como la forma en la que se concibe la comunicación desde la programación académica, si se asume como un curso independiente o si está integrada al logro de otras competencias biomédicas (de manera transversal en el currículo). Otras temáticas tienen que ver con los contenidos, la definición de las metodologías de enseñanza, aprendizaje, evaluación y la necesidad de garantizar el acompañamiento y la retroalimentación al estudiante, por la naturaleza de la experiencia comunicativa durante las prácticas clínicas y por su relevancia en la formación humana e integral.
