ABSTRACT
Background: The professional profile of health care professionals should incorporate recommendations of international agencies and adapt to the local conditions of each country. Aim: To conduct a qualitative analysis of Medical Graduate Profiles of universities grouped in the Chilean Association of Medicine Faculties (ASOFAMECH), characterizing its Social Focus, Humanist Approach, Social and Communication Skills. Material and Methods: Documentary analysis of profiles published on the respective web pages, using Atlas Ti software, establishing emerging categories and subcategories. These profiles were compared with the recommendations of the Pan-American Health Organization. Results: Data in Social Focus suggests that although community issues are a common element, the work in primary health and health promotion are rarely included. The Humanist Approach is addressed more commonly than the Social Focus, emphasizing humanization of care, ethical and religious values. Although, social and communication skills are scarcely acknowledged, those mentioned are teamwork and leadership role. Conclusions: There is a marked heterogeneity in the information declared and universities have not fully incorporated the recommendations of international organizations.

La Reforma de Salud emprendida en el año 2005 tiene como su principal componente el Plan AUGE-GES. Pese a que su propósito fundamental ha sido mejorar la equidad en el acceso a la atención, esta política no ha sido evaluada de manera integral. El presente estudio forma parte de una investigación mayor de carácter nacional, con el objetivo de caracterizar la implementación de la política de salud desde la perspectiva regional, a nivel de servicios de salud, de hospitales y otros organismos en relación a la reorganización estructural. Para ello se utilizó metodología de investigación cualitativa, efectuándose42 entrevistas semiestructuradas a informantes clave (regionales y locales)a las cuales se realizó análisis de contenido. Los resultados señalan que la implementación de la Reforma AUGEGES en Valparaíso es valorada positivamente por todos los actores al compararla con la situación previa a la Reforma. Tanto las garantías no cumplidas como las listas de espera NO GES son resultados criticados. Se percibe una augización de la política. Los equipos de los tres niveles de atención han sido tensionados y enfocados a la atención curativa, postergando las actividades de prevención y promoción de la salud. El GES se visualiza como una estrategia de priorización que ha aumentado la exclusión de grupos poblacionales. Los derechos de las personas son restringidos a los derechos propios de consumidores. En base a estos resultados, es posible concluir que la Reforma AUGE-GES no ha cumplido cabalmente con la finalidad de promover el acceso equitativo a la atención en salud.
Introduction. Health Reform launched in Chile in 2005 has as its main component the AUGE-GES Plan. Although its main purpose has been to improve equity in access to care, this policy has not been evaluated comprehensively. The present study is part of a larger national investigation with the objective to characterize the implementation of health policy from a regional perspective, at the level of health services, hospitals and other agencies, in relation to structural reorganization. Methodology. The present study employed qualitative research methodology where 42semi-structured interviews to key informants (local and regional) were conducted, and content analysis was performed. Results: The results show that the implementation of the GES Reform in Valparaiso is highly valued by all stakeholders when compared to the previous situation. Unfulfilled guarantees and Non-GES waiting lists are both criticized results. GES is perceived as extremely focused public policy. Health teams have been stressed and have focused primarily on curative care, postponing prevention and health promotion. GES is seen as a prioritization strategy that has increased the exclusion of certain groups of the population. The rights of persons are restricted to their rights as consumers. Conclusion. Based on the present analysis, one can conclude that the AUGE-GES Reform has not fully complied with the objective to promote equitable access to health care.
