SALAS PEREA, Ramón S.; ANEIROS RIBA, Ramón; HATIM RICARDO, Alberto  y  REY BRAVO, Rolando. La inspección integral a la educación y práctica médicas: un factor promotor de la calidad. Educ Med Super [online]. 1997, vol.11, n.1, pp. 53-63. ISSN 0864-2141.

Results of integral audits carried out by the Ministry of Public Health in 7 centers of Higher Medical Education during 1992-1993 and 1993-1994 are analysed. These audits were aimed to evaluate the quality of training of our professionals and of its teaching/care delivery environment. It was evidenced that the very process of audit becomes a promoting factor for the creative activity of professors and students towards the achievement of a higher quali-ty in the training and professional excelling, and how all this influences on health services. Recommendations are included.
