ABSTRACT
The idea that one learns to do research only by taking methodological courses is false, as it is false the idea that one learns how to do research only through investigative practice. We consider both strategies pertinent and necessary and that is the reason we believe graduated courses based on investigation must contemplate both. This study aims to share with the academic community the concept, the intention, the context, and how the Seminar on Lines of Research in the Collective Health Master's Program at the University of Antioquia, Colombia has been developed. This study emphasizes the development and the results of such experience in the education of researchers, describes its onset, the curriculum structure and the relationship with the research groups, the transformation of students and the professor's role.
Una falsa disyuntiva se centra en si se aprende a investigar con cursos de investigación o, si se aprende haciendo investigación. Creemos que ambas estrategias son pertinentes y necesarias, razón por la cual consideramos que, la pos-graduación fundamentada en la investigación debe incidir pedagógicamente en ambas. El objetivo de este artículo es compartir con la comunidad académica la concepción, la intención, el contexto y la forma como se viene desarrollando el Seminario de Línea de Investigación, en la Maestría en Salud Colectiva de la Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia. Este artículo enfatiza el desarrollo y los resultados de esta experiencia en la formación de investigadores, presentando el surgimiento, la estructura del plan de estudios en general, su relación con los grupos de investigación, los cambios observados en los alumnos y el rol de profesor.
É falsa a idéia de que, o ensino da investigação se dá exclusivamente nas matérias de metodologia ou que só se aprende a fazer pesquisa com a prática investigativa. Acreditamos que as duas estratégias são pertinentes e necessárias, razão pela qual consideramos que os cursos de pós-graduação fundamentados na investigação devem incidir pedagogicamente sobre ambas. O objetivo deste artigo é socializar com a comunidade acadêmica a concepção, a pretensão, o contexto, a forma como vem sendo desenvolvido o Seminário de Linha de Pesquisa, no Mestrado em Saúde Coletiva da Universidade de Antioquia, Colômbia. O presente documento enfatiza especialmente o desenvolvimento e os resultados desta experiência na formação de pesquisadores, apresentando o surgimento, a estrutura do currículo em geral e a relação com os grupos de pesquisa, as transformações nos alunos e o papel do professor.

La violencia doméstica contra la mujer, problema de magnitud epidemiológica en el mundo y que acarrea graves daños a la salud física y mental de las mujeres, es un asunto que no se ha asumido como tal por las instituciones de salud. Por tanto, miles de mujeres en Colombia se dejan de diagnosticar y atender en forma integral. Este artículo se propone reflexionar acerca de esta situación y describir los componentes del proceso de atención integral a la mujer maltratada que acude a las instituciones de salud.

In 1983 a study was done on the prevalence of epilepsy and some of its associated risk factors using a randon representative sample stratified by economic level. The research was carried our in two stages. The first stage consisted of a survey, conducted in July of that year, during which 4 549 persons responded to a questionnaire containing a series of questions on the signs and symptoms of epilepsy and its associated risk factors. Based on the responses and a set of conventional criteria, 441 individuals were identified as suspected epileptics. In the second stage, diagnosis of the disorder was confirmed in 77 of them: in 21 (27.3 percent), through the clinical record or the report of the attending physician, and in 56 (72.7 percent), through the neurological examination that was done as part of the study. Ninety-two persons (20.9 percent) did not report for the examination. A systematic description was drawn up of the clinical characteristics of epilepsy that were identified in the 56 individuals who underwent the neurological examination. Since the probability of confirming the diagnosis was considered to be the same for the persons who reported for the examination and for those who did not, the calculation of prevalence was designed to compensate for the latter
