Assessment of the teaching staff in Health Sciences

[EN] Health science teachers are essential to ensure the health of the population and the continuously updated training of health professionals. However, in some countries, clinical teaching staff individually assume teaching responsibility based on their professional competence, without there being a regulated pedagogical training for clinical teachers, specific and recognized into the professional career of the health professions.This manuscript summarizes the educational context of the health professions and describes the challenges commonly faced by health sciences teachers. What teaching skills should they have? How do health professionals become teachers? How can be assessed faculty development in the health sciences? How can be promoted innovation and excellence in medical, dental and veterinary education? Sharing experiences and existing models at the international level could be useful to benchmark how some countries have implemented and recognize the professional teaching trajectory of their health professionals, how they comprehensively regulate the teaching of health sciences throughout life, from basic to postgraduate training and continuous professional development. The objective of this manuscript is to provide a comprehensive vision of teaching in the field of health sciences, some reflections and a selection of references of interest. “Health is one of the world’s challenges; therefore the training of teachers in health sciences should be considered a priority for any country”[ES] Los profesores de ciencias de la salud son fundamentales para garantizar la salud de la población y la formación continuamente actualizada de los profesionales sanitarios. Sin embargo, en algunos países, el profesorado clínico asume individualmente la responsabilidad docente en base a su competencia profesional, sin existir una formación pedagógica reglada para docentes clínicos, específica y reconocida en la carrera profesional de las profesiones sanitarias.Este manuscrito resume el contexto educativo de las profesiones sanitarias, ¿Qué desafíos afrontan los profesores de ciencias de la salud?, ¿Qué competencias docentes deben tener?, ¿Cómo se convierten los profesionales sanitarios en profesores?, ¿Cómo se puede valorar al profesorado de ciencias de la salud?, ¿Cómo se puede promover la innovación y la excelencia en la enseñanza médica, dental y veterinaria?Compartir experiencias y modelos existentes a nivel internacional podría ser de utilidad para dar a conocer cómo algunos países han implementado y reconocen la trayectoria profesional docente de sus profesionales sanitarios y cómo regulan integralmente las enseñanzas de las ciencias de la salud a lo largo de toda la vida, desde la formación básica hasta la de postgrado y desarrollo profesional continuo. El objetivo de este manuscrito es aportar una visión integral de la docencia en el ámbito de las ciencias de la salud, algunas reflexiones y una selección de referencias de interés.“La salud es uno de los desafíos mundiales por ello la formación de profesorado en ciencias de la salud debería considerarse una prioridad para cualquier país”Fenoll-Brunet, MR.
