Resumen

MARTINEZ CALVO, Silvia. Review of textbooks for the teaching of Epidemiology in Medical Sciences degree courses. Educ Med Super [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.3, pp.226-237. ISSN 0864-2141.

A review of textbooks for the teaching of Epidemiology in Medical Sciences Degree courses was made with the aim of contributing to the rehabilitation of the value of this teaching aid and the obligation of its constant update to give an answer to the social needs that the future graduated will face, not considering them only as a claim on formative disciplinary rule. Methodology was hold on the application of 8 assessment criteria of Epidemiology contents in the seven selected texts jointly by a single comparison between findings on revision and students answers on the topic in a national inquiry applied almost two decades before. Among the results the similarity in the contents on the texts are highlighted, independently from the graduated profile and the absence of original approaches about the basic epidemiological categories in some texts that have been detected in the previous research. The work of the group of authors is recognized and is concluded that the permanent update of the contents of the texts is indispensable when recognizing the level of development of Epidemiology in the last decades and its incorporation in the contents of the textbooks and consulting books that are designed internationally.

Palabras clave : textbook; Epidemiology; medical sciences.
