ABSTRACT

Hace casi 100 años, la Carnegie Foundation para el avance de la enseñanza le encargó a Abraham Flexner, experto en educación, realizar un estudio sobre la situación de la educación médica en Estados Unidos y Canadá. Este estudio resultó ser uno de los documentos más influyentes en la revolución de la educación médica de Norteamérica, que la llevó a ser lo que hoy en día es. Casi un siglo después, la educación médica colombiana ha alcanzado un parecido asombroso con el sistema descrito en el informe Flexner. El presente artículo resalta el paralelo entre la situación de la educación médica en Norteamérica hace 100 años y la situación actual de la educación médica en Colombia. Presentamos una reflexión sobre el sistema educativo actual en ésta área, basados en lo descrito en 1910, que consideramos como la actualidad de la educación médica en nuestro país y, tal vez, la de muchos otros de América Latina.


Almost one hundred years ago the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching authorized a study and report about the medical education of the United States and Canada directed by Mr. Abraham Flexner an education expert of the time. This report turned out to be one of the most important documents of the medical education revolution that took place by that time in North America and that led it to become what it is today. Almost a century after that, Colombian medical education has reached an outstanding similarity to the system described in the Flexner report. The present article highlights the parallel between North America's medical education situation a hundred years ago and Colombia's actual medical education situation. We present here some notions about the actual education system based on what was described on 1910 and which we consider, constitutes the current medical education situation on our country and possibly on many Latin American countries.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A estruturação do ensino médico nas escolas médicas brasileiras ao longo do século XX sofreu grande influência das idéias de Abrahan Flexner, educador americano que julgava ser o ensino indissociável da pesquisa. Para tanto, o ensino deveria ser desenvolvido em escolas com adequada infra-estrutura de hospitais e laboratórios para o estudo das doenças. Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar o cenário atual da pesquisa em epilepsia no âmbito do ensino de graduação e pós-graduação das escolas médicas brasileiras. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Busca a análise de informações obtidas em bancos de dados governamentais (MEC e CAPES), de declarações de diretorias de instituições representativas dos órgãos médicos (AMB e CFM) além de informações obtidas no Encontro Nacional de Pós-Graduação em Medicina. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: O número crescente de escolas médicas nos últimos anos, associado a um ainda questionável sistema de avaliação, tem contribuído para que muitas escolas se estabeleçam sem o perfil adequado para a pesquisa em neurologia. Assim, a pesquisa em epilepsia brasileira, no âmbito da graduação, esta praticamente restrita a instituições vinculadas às principais Universidades Federais, Estaduais (principalmente as Estaduais Paulistas), e algumas do sistemas das PUCs. Nestas instituições observa-se a presença de Professores/Pesquisadores que ministram aulas nos cursos de medicina, mas que também atuam em Programas de Pós-Graduação. Em contraste com a graduação, a plena autonomia conferida ao sistema de avaliação da CAPES para o descredenciamento de programas com avaliação insuficiente, tem permitido uma melhora significativa na qualidade dos Programas de Pós-Graduação.


INTRODUCTION: The foundation of Brazilian schools of medicine was noticeably influenced by the ideas of Abrahan Flexner, an American educationalist who believed that medical teaching was inseparable from research. According to Flexner’s ideas, medical teaching should take place in schools of medicine with appropriate hospital and laboratory infrastructure. The aim of the present work is to present a contemporary scenario of the research in epilepsy in the Brazilian schools of medicine at undergraduate and graduate levels. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Search and analysis of data taken from government electronic sites (MEC and CAPES), from official manifestations of our medical organizations (AMB and CFM) and from information taken from our National Meeting on Graduate Courses in Medicine. RESULTS AND DISCUSSSION: The increasing number of schools of medicine that has occurred recently, associated with a questionable evaluation system, has contributed for the establishment of schools without the requirements for an appropriate research in neurology. Hence, the research in epilepsy, at undergraduate level, is practically restricted to federal, state (mainly State of São Paulo) and few catholic universities. In these institutions, there is always a group of Professors/Researches that teach in medical courses, but also participate in graduate programs. In contrast to the evaluation system at undergraduate level, the total autonomy of CAPES system to discontinue programs that have received insufficient scores, has allowed a significant improvement of quality of our Graduate Programs in medicine.
