Description
Summary:The intercultural perspective in medical education in Latin America and Colombia is an inclusive process which must conquer challenges and barriers. These must be overcome by designing intercultural understanding programs and public policies with new trends in the training of university medical students. Instilling intercultural abilities in ethnic students within the healthcare sciences programs at Universidad del Cauca allows the visualization of a group of professionals with the skills to serve in their regions with social and cultural relevance, linking biomedical knowledge in a positive synergy with traditional medicine, building an alternative human and evaluative intercultural identity that cultivates the relationship between physicians and native and migrant patients.
La perspectiva intercultural en la educación médica en Latinoamérica y Colombia es un proceso incluyente, que debe vencer retos y barreras. Estos deben superarse mediante el diseño de programas y políticas públicas de entendimiento intercultural con nuevas tendencias en la formación del estudiante médico universitario. El logro de competencias interculturales en los estudiantes étnicos de los programas de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad del Cauca permite visualizar un grupo de profesionales con habilidades para desempeñarse en sus regiones con pertinencia social y cultural, articulando los conocimientos biomédicos en sinergia positiva con la medicina tradicional, construyendo una identidad intercultural alternativa humana y valorativa, que cultive la relación del médico con el paciente nativo y migrante.
