ABSTRACT

Introduction: In the Medical Techologist's University of Chile undergraduate program, in 2014 was designed the "profesión, persona y sociedad" course, that is offered in the fourth semester. This course pretends that the students apply skills relationated with verbal and non-verbal communication in the context of the work in medical scenarios. At the end of the fourth version is neccesary to know the impact that the course have had in the students for the analysis of the opinions that they have done in many retroalimentation's moments.
Aim: To assess the impact of the course in the students and it's evolution through the four versions (from 2014 until 2017) with cuantitative variables in the dimensions: teaching, knowledge, interpersonal relations and administrative responsabilities.
Methods: For the period between 2014 and 2016, the evaluation surveys of the course were quantitatively and qualitatively oriented, the percentage difference for each variable was calculated. For the year 2017, in addition to the teacher evaluation survey, the personal reflection that the students made the course at the end of the semester through the discourse analysis technique was evaluated.
Results: A progressive assessment of the importance of the course in the formation of the students is observed as the versions advance, achieving a positive objective impact in each of the generations. In the scores of all the areas evaluated improvements were observed as the versions advanced, which is consistent with the opinions expressed in the open answers.
Conclusions: The course fulfills its function that students value the importance of the development of effective communication in health as a professional tool more. On the other hand, they value their role in showing their own shortcomings and motivate them to work on them. The course shows concrete improvements in its application as its versions advance, however there are areas in which work must be continued, which is a challenge to a process of continuous improvement.
