Abstract

The curriculum is a set of formal and informal experiences that are integrated into the curriculum of a university profession. In educational institutions, two types of curriculums coexist: the planned one, in which the intention of the proposed objectives is expressed, and the hidden one, which does not appear in the study plan and is structured in the set of attitudes and norms that are transmitted to through identification models. The curriculum must provide the student with a methodology that allows them to continue learning, and must express a conception about the evaluation, establishing the main guidelines on the system of promotion of students and what are the requirements and conditions to advance in the study. In the present work the study plan is analyzed from the curricular vision of the composition and extension of the medicine career of the faculty of medical sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). It is concluded that the study plan must be updated contemplating the medical professional model that society requires, and the total extension of the career must be reconsidered.

Introduction

The curriculum is a set of formal and informal experiences that are integrated into the curriculum of a university profession. In educational institutions two types of curriculums coexist: the planned, in which the intentionality of the proposed objectives and the hidden is expressed, which does not appear in the curriculum and is structured in the set of attitudes and norms that are transmitted to through identification models [1].

The curriculum must provide the student with a methodology that allows him. The curriculum supports the principles set forth in the international conference of Alma Ata, organized by the world health organization and the pan American health organization in Kazakhstan on September 12, 1978, which consecrated primary care health [2-4].
