RESUMEN
INTRODUCCIÓN:
Investigar la formación profesionalde los técnicos en salud en Argentina es prioritaria dada la heterogeneidad de la oferta educativa que complejiza la inserción laboral y la regulación del ejercicio.OBJETIVO:
Analizar la situación y características de la educación profesional de nivel superior para los trabajadores técnicos en salud en Argentina.MÉTODOS:
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, cuantitativo y transversal, con fuentes de datos secundarias y primarias durante 2010-2011.RESULTADOS:
Se relevaron 370 instituciones educativas concentradas en la Región Centro (64%). La formación en el nivel terciario era del 87%, con una mayoría de gestión privada (71,3%). La formación universitaria dependía principalmente del sector público (73,9%). De las 852 carreras relevadas, casi el 30% correspondía a Enfermería, 12,4%a Laboratorio, 11,9% a Sanidad, 11,6% a Radiología y 10,1% a Instrumentación Quirúrgica. Se registraron 78.972 alumnos, con una cantidad predominante en Enfermería (39%) y Radiología (12%).CONCLUSIONES:
La formación de técnicos en salud se distribuye en toda Argentina, aunque con una oferta desigual. Las diferencias estructurales entre las instituciones terciarias y universitarias obstaculizan la circulación entre ambos subsistemas. La complejidad del sistema de educación superior presenta una serie de desafíos que exigen el involucramiento conjunto de las carteras educativa y sanitaria para planificar y desarrollar estos recursos a nivel nacional.ABSTRACT
