ABSTRACT
Ayurveda translates as ‘life science’. Its knowledge is not limited to medicine, cure or therapy and is forlaypersons, households, communities, as well as for physicians. Throughout its evolutionary history,Ayurveda and Local Health Traditions have reciprocally influenced each other. In modern times, theinfluence of biomedicine on Ayurveda is leading to its medicalisation. Over the past century, theintroduction and perspective of biomedicine into India has made the human being an object for positiveknowledge, a being who can be understood with scientific reason and can be governed and controlledthrough medical knowledge. This paper explores how this shift towards medicalisation is affecting theknowledge, teaching, and practice of Ayurveda. It examines the impact and contribution of processes likestandardisation, professionalisation, bio-medicalisation and pharmaceuticalisation on Ayurveda education, knowledge, practice and policies. To maintain health and wellbeing Ayurveda's ancient knowledgeand practice needs to be applied at individual, community and health care provider levels and not belimited to the medical system. The current over medicalisation of society is a potential threat to humanhealth and well-being. Ayurveda and LHT knowledge can provide essential teachings and practices tocounter-balance this current trend through encouraging a population's self-reliance in its health.© 2018 Transdisciplinary University, Bangalore and World Ayurveda Foundation.

ABSTRACT
Objetivos: El desarrollo de actividades profesionales confiables (APROC) para el graduado de medicina en Cirugía Mínimamente Invasiva (CMI) es una necesidad en Colombia. La evidencia disponible es limitada. Este estudio describe la experiencia preliminar con una intervención orientada a esta necesidad, en el marco de un modelo de educación basada en competencias (EBC). Materiales y Métodos: Se diseñó una intervención orientada al desarrollo de actitudes, conocimientos y habilidades prácticas en CMI para estudiantes de medicina, mediante un enfoque de aula invertida extendida. Se realizaron evaluaciones pre y posintervención mediante el cuestionario Team-STEPPS (actitudes), exámenes de conocimiento y OSATS (habilidades prácticas). Se realizaron comparaciones pre y posintervención (t-test (p < 0,05) y mediciones del tamaño del efecto de la intervención (prueba d Cohen). Finalmente se evaluó la satisfacción estudiantil. Resultados: Un total de 99 estudiantes participaron en el estudio. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p < 0,05) entre las mediciones pre y posintervención, y gran efecto en las actitudes, conocimientos y habilidades prácticas (d > 0,80). Se evidenció alta satisfacción estudiantil. Discusión: El diseño instruccional a través de metodologías interactivas permite desarrollar APROC en CMI, desde el pregrado. Estos resultados son similares a los reportados en otras intervenciones en el marco de la EBC. Conclusión: Nuestra intervención demostró efectos positivos sobre competencias estudiantiles orientadas al desarrollo de APROC en CMI para el futuro graduado. Aun es necesario medir estas competencias en la práctica real y al finalizar la carrera, para determinar si estas actividades pueden ser totalmente confiables a los participantes en su futura práctica profesional.
Aims: The development of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for undergraduates is a need in Colombia. The available evidence is limited. This study aims to describe the preliminary experience with an intervention oriented to this need, embedded in the framework of a competence-based education model (CBE). Materials and Methods: An intervention was designed for the development of EPAs in MIS oriented to the development of attitudes, knowledge and practical skills in medical students. Intervention was delivered through an extended inverted classroom approach. Pre- and postintervention measures were performed by using the Team-STEPPS questionnaire (attitudes), knowledge assessments and OSATS (practical skills). Comparisons were performed by t-test tests (p < 0.05) and the effect size of the intervention was calculated by the Cohen d test. Finally, the student's satisfaction was evaluated. Results: A total of 99 students participated in the study. The intervention showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05), and great effect on attitudes, knowledge and practical skills (d > 0.80). Likewise, high student satisfaction was evidenced. Discussion: Interactive instructional design fosters development of EPAs in MIS for medical undergraduates. These results are similar to those reported in other interventions under the CBE model. Conclusion: Our intervention showed positive effects on competences oriented to the development of EPAs in MIS for the future graduate. Still is necessary to assess these competencies in real practice and at the end of medical career, in order to evaluate if these activities can be totally reliable to the participants in their future professional practice.
