The First Latin American Consensus on Superficial and Perforating Venous Mapping.

With the aim of obtaining a map which is useful as a diagnostic tool and therapeutical orientation, complementing the written report of duplex ultrasound venous study, Latin-American Scientific Societies of Phlebology, Vascular Surgery and Vascular Imaging were invited to participate, through their regional representatives, to the First Consensus of Superficial and Perforating Venous Mapping. A consensus process using a modified Delphi method was carried out. An International Working Group was formed, which developed a Prototype of the Venous Mapping that worked as a starting point for consensus, and was presented in a first virtual meeting of 54 experts (societies' representatives) when the methodology was explained. For the consensus process, two rounds of self-administrated questionnaires with feedback were used. In the first questionnaire a 100% consensus was obtained in the 15 statements (an agreement range of 85.2% to 100%) In the analysis of qualitative data, three categories according to the actions to implement were identified - actions which involved no action, minor changes and major changes. This analysis was used to build the second questionnaire, which reached a consensus in its six statements (agreement range of 87.1% to 98.1%). A final consensus on every field proposed was established with the approval of all the experts consulted and it was presented at a third online meeting. The document of the superficial and perforating venous mapping reached by consensus is presented hereafter.

Responsabilidad social universitaria en el curriculum de la carrera de medicina de la FCM-UNA del levantamiento de demandas y necesidades a la declaración del perfil genérico del egresado / University social responsibility in the curriculum career of medicine at the FCM-UNA About the obtainment of demands and needs to the development of a quality assurance system in medical training

Este trabajo se realiza en el contexto de un Proyecto de Innovación Curricular (PIC) de la FCM-UNA, basado en un modelo desarrollado por K, Troncoso y sobre la base de las tendencias y lineamientos actuales de la educación superior y la formación profesional universitaria que orienta y guía la construcción, tanto en el diseño como en la instalación y gestión, de currículos universitarios basados en competencias. Considera Hitos, fases, criterios y productos y forma parte de una propuesta metodológica y conceptual que se ha utilizado como marco de referencia y que permite organizar y estructurar la innovación curricular en la carrera de medicina. El hito 1 se refiere al levantamiento de información de las demandas y necesidades de formación a través del análisis de fuentes de investigación, actores claves y diversos marcos de referencia, para organizar y estructurar compromisos formativos para la elaboración y declaración del perfil de egreso. Por lo tanto significa justificar las decisiones tomadas, argumentando desde la lógica de la formación, la racionalidad que se espera modelar y los problemas, situaciones o contexto sobre los que el egresado actuará, utilizando como referencia las respuestas y posición frente al levantamiento de información. Esto responde a exigencias por parte de la sociedad, y así también para poder instalar una propuesta educativa con formación profesional universitaria pertinente. El hito 2 se refiere al análisis y síntesis de la información obtenida de los actores relevantes, de manera a tomar decisiones sobre cuáles son las demandas y necesidades en la formación de los estudiantes de la FCM-UNA. De esta forma ir avanzando hacia la declaración de los compromisos formativos y su representación en el perfil de egreso.

This work is done in the context of Curricular Innovation Project (CIP) of the FCM UNA, based on a model developed by K, Troncoso and based on current trends and guidelines of superior education and degree training that guides the construction, both in the design and installation of university curricula based on competencies. It considers milestones, stages, criteria and products, and forms part of a methodological and conceptual approach which has been used as a reference that allows to organize and structure the curriculum innovation in medical career. Milestone 1 refers to the obtainment of demands and needs of training through the analysis of research sources, stakeholders and various frameworks, to organize and structure training commitments for the development and declaration of the graduate profile. Therefore it means justify the decisions taken, arguing from the logic of training, the rationality that is expected to model and the problems, situation or context on which the graduate will act, using as reference the responses and position on the collection of information This responds to demands from society, and thus also to install an educational proposal with relevant university training. The milestone 2 refers to the analysis and synthesis of information from relevant stakeholders, in order to make decisions about what are the demands and needs in the training of students of the FCM-UNA. Thus moving towards the declaration of training commitments and its representation in the graduate profile.
