Abstract
Enfoque moderno de la enseñanza en epidemiología. Rev Cubana Hig Epidemiol [online]. 1996, vol.34, n.2, pp.26-37. ISSN 0253-1751.
An analysis is made of the operative contexts for permanent education in general, and of those problems found in the epidemiological upgrading, where the discord between academy and practice and the poor consideration of the health services have been the main limitations. The development achieved by the national health system in Cuba and, in particular, by the model of primary health care allow the scientific and technical development of epidemiolology. It is evaluated the available conceptual framework based on the need of an epidemiological approach of public health in Cuba. Finally, the innovative teaching methods used in different countries and their validity for Cuba are explained in detail, as well as the priorities according to the lines of the world development of epidemiology.
