ABSTRACT

We report the experience of the re-valuation committee of the University of Chile Medical School, in the period 1984-1999. This experience is relevant to the licensing processes in Latin America. We report the political, legal and regulatory backup and the academic criteria used to establish different evaluation methodologies. We also communicate the main results obtained. Factors such as the country and University conferring a title, nationality and length of service of the applicant, influence in the percentage of licensure examination approval. Some modifications to the licensure process should be incorporated but, the overall results obtained, fully justify the existence of this licensure committee.

ABSTRACT

Accreditation has acquired special relevance for the habilitation of professional practice, considering the proliferation of teaching institutions, the variety of training programs and the increasing amount of professionals requiring accreditation or revalidation of their titles. The internationalization of professional activities requires global and uniform accreditation procedures to avoid inequalities in evaluation of different professionals coming from abroad or from Chile. In the scope of medical practice, these concepts acquire special relevance, considering the appearance of new medical schools in the last decade and the increasing number of foreign physicians that need to revalidate their titles. In the period between January 1996 and September 1997, 192 foreign physicians applied to revalidate their titles and only 55 were approved. Therefore, the establishment of and effective evaluation system will correct deficiencies in the accreditation process and will promote the revision of training programs and the progress of teaching institutions. The organisms that will require to be accredited must be confident that this action will improve the quality of Chilean professional training.
