In the context of declining leprosy endemicity worldwide, keeping the interest in knowledge and expertise in leprosy alive has been a matter of concern. Approaching the problem only in primary care, without the proper integration with other levels of care in the health system fails to account for the complexity of the disease. Training professionals to work at different levels of health care is a current challenge. The objective of this review was to look for experiences related to the teaching of leprosy both in undergraduate courses in the field of health sciences and in training programs for professionals who work in patient care. We highlight the role of the dermatologist in the management of control programs, diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as in the continuous education of other health professionals.
在全球麻风病流行程度下降的背景下,保持对麻风病知识和专业技能的关注一直是一个令人担忧的问题。仅在初级保健层面处理这个问题,而没有与卫生系统中的其他护理层面适当整合,无法考虑到该疾病的复杂性。培训专业人员在不同层次的卫生保健机构工作是当前面临的一项挑战。本综述的目的是寻找在健康科学领域的本科课程以及为从事患者护理工作的专业人员提供的培训项目中与麻风病教学相关的经验。我们强调皮肤科医生在控制项目管理、疾病诊断和治疗以及对其他卫生专业人员的继续教育中的作用。
