Acreditaciones demoradas. Proyecto de intervención en una cátedra de Clínica Psiquiátrica: PiACLiP / [Delayed accreditation. Intervention project in psychiatric clinic courses: PiACLiP].

ABSTRACT

This work follows from our auto-evaluation of teaching and learning processes, having in mind the development of overcoming strategies in the context of postgraduate education of Doctors specialized in Psychiatry. This intervention project (PiACLiP) is the first of its kind in our institution and has been designed and developed to increase the number of accredited students in the courses of Psychiatric Clinic. After completing the courses, students tend to disengage and may not complete all pending academic requisites. The PiACLiP acts upon this problem in an attempt to revert it, enabling a larger amount of accredited students within the courses. Consequently, stimulates institutional sense of belonging as well as access to graduation. PiACLiP planning has been organized in sequential stages several pedagogic methodologies based in the constructivist theory have been implemented. Knowledge acquisition and clinic capacities under active roles are thus favored, relating students with questions arising from their own practice. Virtual and face-to-face tutorials with teachers and peers have been offered in order to facilitate both, study and in-process evaluation, besides the final exam.
