Abraham Flexner, Benjamin Bloom and Fidel Ilizástigui Dupuy: paradigms of American medical education
Keywords:
Medical education, Health education, Teaching.Abstract
Introduction: the 20th century was rich in experiences in the training of human resources in health care, from the teacher-centered pragmatic-academicistic teaching with the pasive-reproductive role of the student, to models with a broader and more flexible curricular design, derived from the desired professional model, in which the protagonism of learning is for the learner, and the teacher becomes more a facilitating agent of teaching, aspiring a graduate with competence for prevention in health care, promotion, recuperation and rehabilitation. To create this new model requires a real change in the educational paradigm of the academic environment.
Objective: to gather a review article, within the social a pedagogical sciences, on three exponents of medicine teaching in the Americas: Abraham Flexner, Benjamin Bloom y Fidel Ilizástigui Dupuy that allows the contribution to the development in the teaching of medical sciences for the teacher staff of our medical universities.
Development: short bibliographical data was highlited: main contributions to the teaching of medicine in the historical moment lived by each of them, and some critical references to their works.
Conclusions: It has been concluded that these three personalities from the 20th century contributed to the development of medical sciences in the Americas, and thanks to their devotion and perseverance there has been a way from pragmatic and fragmented models to a superior student-centered medical education integrated with a communitary approach trascending the 21st century.
