ABSTRACT
Se reflexiona sobre los paradigmas vigentes para la formación de recursos humanos en salud necesarios para el mundo, tomando en consideración algunos de sus determinantes como: voluntad política, recursos financieros y flujo migratorio. Se ponen de manifiesto las causas e implicaciones, en última instancia, sociales, de la utilización del modelo flexneriano para la formación de estos recursos. Se analizan además los diferentes retos que enfrenta hoy a nivel mundial la educación de pregrado y posgrado en Ciencias de la Salud
Some reflections were made on the present paradigms of the formation of human resources in health worldwide, taking several determinants into consideration such as political willingness, financial resources and migration flows. The causes and implications, ultimately of social origin, of the use of the Flexner´s model for the formation of these resources were explained. Additionally, the different challenges that the undergraduate and the graduate education in health sciences are facing at present worldwide were analyzedAU)

ABSTRACT
La educación médica ha sido y será un tema de preocupación para todas las generaciones en cualquier parte del mundo ya que de ello depende en parte el progreso de las sociedades y de nuestra profesión, necesaria en el Estado. En este artículo trataré de realizar un recuento histórico de los procesos que se han llevado a cabo en la educación médica en el mundo y en especial en los países de América Latina, tomando como puntos de referencia los dos paradigmas más importantes hasta el momento como son el paradigma "flexneriano" y el paradigma "crítico". También enuncio los inconvenientes y algunas reformas educacionales que ha tenido que pasar la mayoría de las naciones frente a la adversidad del contexto socioeconómico que los rodea. Además de ello hago un esbozo de un tercer paradigma en gestación generado por la introducción de un nuevo personaje en la educación médica: la tecnología.
The medical education has been and will continue to be a subject of concern to all generations anywhere in the world because it depends in part on the progress of societies and our profession; so necessary in the state. The objective of this article is to try to conduct a historical review of the processes that have taken place in medical education in the world and especially in Latin America; taking as a benchmark the two paradigms most important so far as the "Flexner" paradigm and the "critical" paradigm. Ill also try to show the disadvantages and some educational reforms that most of the nations have faced, related to adversity in the socio-economic context that surrounds them. Besides that, I make an outline of a third emerging paradigm generated by the introduction of a new character in medical education: Technology.
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.

Reform of the medical education in the early 20th century America caused many consequences in the various aspects of the medical fields as well as the improvement of the medical education itself such as the reinforcement of the laboratory training in the basic science courses and hospital instruction in the clinical courses. The reform brought about the direct or indirect elimination of the irregular sectarian practitioners and the minority groups such as black and women from the medical market place, established the concrete position of the regular physicians in the American society, reinforced the biomedical aspects which would become the general tendency in the 20th century Western medicine. And the author stressed that the reform was neither initiated nor invoked but just accelerated by the so-called Flexner Report of 1910, rather it had been performed through the processes of the interaction and struggle between the various contradictory trends, tendencies, and forces such as American Medical Association(AMA), some leading medical educators and scientists, medical colleges, and philanthropic foundations in the socio-cultural millieu gradually moving to favor the 'science'.
