ABSTRACT
El Instituto Nacional de Higiene "Rafael Rangel" (INHRR) inició las actividades académicas de la Especialización en Micología Médica en septiembre de 2007. En los primeros ocho años de actividad, el Instituto ha concluido cuatro cohortes de especialistas. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue presentar una descripción de los especialistas graduados en el INHRR, los tutores y los trabajos especiales de grado (TEG) en el área de micología médica durante el periodo 2007 2014. Para ello, se realizó una investigación documental y de tipo descriptiva, revisando los expedientes resguardados en los archivos de la Coordinación de Postgrado de la Gerencia de Docencia e Investigación del INHRR. Con este programa de postgrado, el Instituto graduó a 23 especialistas en micología médica con un elevado índice académico (17,5 puntos). La mayoría de los egresados de la especialización fueron mujeres bioanalistas egresadas de la Universidad Central de Venezuela, quienes laboraban en entes públicos al momento de iniciar el programa. El 61% de los TEG defendidos se realizaron dentro de dos de las líneas de investigación que lleva adelante el Departamento de Micología Médica del INHRR, a saber: las micosis en pacientes inmunocompetentes e inmunocomprometidos utilizando el diagnóstico convencional y la resistencia antifúngica de hongos levaduriformes. Ocho profesionales fueron los encargados de dirigir los TEG, bajo la figura de tutor: dos se destacaron por haber dirigido el 52% de los TEG y tres por ser egresados de la especialización. Solo el 38% de los tutores fueron externos al Instituto
The National Institute of Hygiene "Rafael Rangel" (INHRR) began the academic activities of the Medical Mycology Specialization in September 2007. In the first eight years, the Institute has graduated four cohorts of specialists. The aim of this work was to present a description of the specialists graduated in the INHRR, their advisors and degree theses (DT) in the field of medical mycology, during the period 2007 2014. Documentary and descriptive research were carried out; reviewing the records kept in the Postgraduate Coordination archives of the Management for Teaching and Research, INHRR. With this program, the Institute graduated 23 specialists in medical mycology with a high academic score (17.5 points). Most of the specialists were bioanalyst women graduated from the Central University of Venezuela, who worked in public entities at the beginning of the program. Sixty-one percent of the DT was conducted in two of the research lines carried out by the Department of Medical Mycology, INHRR, namely: mycoses in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients using conventional diagnosis and antifungal resistance of yeast infections. Eight professionals supervised the DT, under the figure of tutor. Two tutors excelled for supervising 52% of the DT and three tutors for being graduates of the specialization. Only 38% of the tutors were external to the Institute

In accordance with evaluation of universities and high educational societies and by using accreditation model, parasitology and mycology department of Urmia University of Medical Sciences was evaluated. This study was done in parasitology and mycology department of Urmia university of medical sciences in 2007. This department with 4 scientific members, 3 educational districts, and 4 laboratories, and with 27 years archaism is involved actively in teaching of students of medical and health sciences. The assessment covered 9 areas, namely: department manager, scientific members, educational districts, human resources, education resources and research facilities, and the status of students. Questionnaires and check lists were developed by the scientific members of the department. After collecting the data, the results were categorized into three levels according to the gained points: nondesirable level [less than 25% of the total score], semi-desirable level [between 25-75% of the total score] and desirable level [more than 75% of the total score]. The obtrained mean scores revealed that the department of parasitology and mycology was located in the "desirable level" in the fields of department manager, scientific members, educational district, and the status of students. The department was located in the "semi-desirable level" in the fields of human resources, education resources and research facilities. Overall, the deparment was gained the "semidesirable" score [103 from 140]. This study demonstrates that the deparment of parasitology and mycology is located in the semi-desirable level. Although the overall status is acceptable, but there is a need to modify the weak points in the suboptimal areas to improve the educational quality in this department
