Perception that managers and executives from the public IPS in the Metropolitan Area of Aburrá Valley have of health service - teaching agreements

Abstract

Objective: To find out the perception of the personnel with administrative responsibilities from second and third complexity-level public hospitals or State social enterprises in the Aburrá Valley (which have teaching agreements, but that are not considered teaching hospitals), about medicine students’ rotation. The aim was to ascertain the institutional commitment to the formative processes, their knowledge of their methodology, as well as benefits or limitations that result from such processes.

Methodology: A qualitative hermeneutical study in which 14 managers and professionals with administrative charges from six public hospitals of the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley were interviewed.

Results: the first-semester medical students’ practices are framed in basic matters because when they are starting their training, they are allowed little practice, have little or no direct relationship or intervention with patients and are denied access to their clinical history.

Conclusions: first-semester Medicine students are framed in basic rotations. They require permanent accompaniment and supervision from teachers. The advantages that IPS obtain due to the development of students’ practices are few compared to the limitations that this process causes.
