FERREIRA, Albano V. L.; FRESTA, Mário; SIMOES, Cristóvão F. C. y SAMBO, Maria do Rosário B.. Desafios da educação médica e da investigação em saúde no contexto de angola. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2014, vol.38, n.01, pp.133-141. ISSN 1981-5271.
Calls for reforms to medical education are constant and have led to various recommendations over the last 100 years, especially those resulting from critical assessments made by Abraham Flexner in 1910 in the United States. In this paper, we discuss the trends and current challenges affecting medical education and healthcare research, with emphasis on developing countries, highlighting the African reality. Finally, based on the bibliography, we identify and discuss several challenges related to the binomial of medical education/healthcare research in Angola, particularly in the context of the Academic Region II, which includes the provinces of Benguela and Kwanza Sul. The challenges emphasize: (i) the need to incorporate new curricular approaches for strengthening lifelong learning, (ii) the acquisition and development of skills in scientific research aimed at characterizing and intervening in local health; (iii) the innovation in teaching methods and the incorporation of new technologies in education and medical practice and (iv) the contribution to strengthening and improving the distribution of physicians in the region.
