ABSTRACT
Objetive: to socialize the results of the diagnosis applied to teachers of Integral General Medicine of the Latin American School of Medicine, contributing to the characterization of the professional performance for the work with cartographic means.Materials and methods: the exploratory/descriptive study used in the research worked with two variables and 10 indicators and used techniques such as interviews and observation of performance that allowed the diagnosis of the faculty. The results allowed to characterize the teachers and identify their learning needs.
Results: The social demand of physicians capable of responding to multiple tasks in order to achieve efficient performance requires redimensioning the vision of their training. The insertion in its formative process of the spatial dimension facilitates the achievement of this objective.
Conclusions: The diagnosis applied to the teachers of the Department of MGI of the ELAM allowed to verify that there is a high degree of recognition of the importance of the cartographic means and of the necessity of its inclusion within the study plan of the medical students. The limitations identified in the teachers’ performance are related to deficiencies in their initial training process, ignorance of the working methodology with cartographic means, limited methodological preparation and absence of teaching support materials. The design of improvement strategies related to these contents can be a way that contributes to improving the performance of teachers.
