Estudio descriptivo sobre la enseñanza en salud global desde las Universidades públicas españolas. ¿Por qué surge una necesidad formativa en salud global?

espanolResumen: La justificacion del estudio planteado, surge de la percepcion de un deficit en el abordaje y formacion en tematicas de Salud Global desde las Universidades espanolas. Para ello, se ha realizado una revision bibliografica que ayuda a contextualizar la Salud Global y se completa con la realizacion de un analisis, mediante busqueda online de la presencia de tematicas de Salud Global en las ofertas docentes de cada asignatura de los grados de Medicina y posgrados de las 33 facultades publicas espanolas a estudio. Tambien se han descrito y cuantificado aquellas materias relacionadas pero no especificas con el tema de estudio como son la medicina tropical, la salud internacional y la antropologia de la salud entre otras. Los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo, concluyen que es necesario reforzar la formacion en Salud Global desde nuestras facultades de Medicina. Es fundamental, que se otorgue a los estudiantes la oportunidad de entender lo que implica la Salud Global en un engranaje multidisciplinar, y si lo desean, puedan formarse en profundidad en este ambito. Si esto sucede, podran adquirir las herramientas necesarias para poder trabajar desde una perspectiva mas global, entendiendo que no podemos desligar las enfermedades de los sistemas sociales, la inequidad, el genero, la economia y las relaciones intergubernamentales y de poder entre otras cuestiones. EnglishThe proposed study arises from the lack found in Global Health training in Spanish universities. Global Health needs to become part of the Spanish medical training offer. In order to understand the importance of Global Health training, a literature review was conducted, that helps to understand the current context of Global Health. And is completed with the online search for the presence of Global Health related themes performed in the 33 public medicine schools and post-doctoral degree programmes. Moreover, other related matters such as tropical medicine, international health and health anthropology among others, were also studied. The results conclude that it is necessary to strengthen our medical schools training in Global Health. It is essential that students are given the opportunity to understand what is involved in multidisciplinary Global Health, and to obtein a more profound education in this area, if desired. If this happens, being able to acquire the skills to work from a more global perspective, understanding that we cannot separate disease from social systems, inequity, gender, economics, intergovernmental relationships of power among other issues.
