The Medical School of the University of Valparaíso was founded thirty years ago aiming to produce a physician considering the health needs of the population and with a solid humanitarian training. The epidemiological, demographic and scientific changes of the last decades prompted the introduction of modifications in the curriculum such as using problem oriented active learning, incorporation of new subjects such as geriatrics, labour medicine and trauma and training in communication skills. The curricular mesh will be modified to allow an efficient vertical integration of educational contents, which will be delivered sequentially during the different years of the career. The internship, as a crucial part of the career, has incorporated outpatient clinical practice, has emphasized preventive medicine and has stimulated active learning through research projects and active reviews of specific issues. These changes will require cultural changes of professors and students and more resources that are difficult to obtain.
瓦尔帕莱索大学医学院成立于三十年前，旨在培养一名考虑到民众健康需求并接受过扎实人道主义培训的医生。过去几十年间的流行病学、人口统计学和科学变革促使课程做出修改，比如采用以问题为导向的主动学习法、纳入老年医学、劳动医学和创伤等新学科以及进行沟通技巧培训。课程体系将进行修改，以实现教育内容的高效纵向整合，这些内容将在不同学年按顺序授课。实习作为该职业的关键部分，纳入了门诊临床实践，强调预防医学，并通过研究项目和对特定问题的积极回顾激发主动学习。这些变革将需要教授和学生的观念转变以及更多难以获取的资源。
