Abstract
PUENTE SANI, Ventura; MONTOYA RIVERA, Jorge; GARCIA CESPEDES, María Eugenia and OROPESA ROBLEJO, Pedro. Epistemological approach on the late clinical diagnosis of AIDS in the process of training the internal medicine resident. MEDISAN [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.1, pp.102-112. ISSN 1029-3019.
The late diagnosis of AIDS and the associated complications constitute a present health problem of the current health that should be treated by the internist; the tendency in the last years to the increase of these cases is evident in Santiago de Cuba province, mainly in hospitals. In this investigation, the existing limitations in the training of the resident doctor of internal medicine are approached, who is not able to incorporate the theoretical-practical skills as for the knowledge of the human immunodeficiency virus/aids, the clinical-immunological, virological and psychological evaluation, and the prescription of the treatment schedules for the preventive control and follow-up of the opportunist infections. Likewise, some inadequacies in the instruction to this specialist which limit their holistic training in the health-disease process of people who live with the human immunodeficiency virus/aids are described
