MEJIAS CHAO, Tania; MEJIAS CHAO, Liliam María; CABRERA RODRIGUEZ, María Cristina e AMADOR MEJIAS, José Luis. The Medicine of Disasters in the study plan of general practitioners in Villa Clara. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2015, vol.7, n.3, pp.177-187. ISSN 2077-2874.
The current work describes the program of the Medicine of Disasters subject that is imparted to the future physicians of the Latin American School of Medicine in Villa Clara since 2003, as an exclusive experience in the world. It consists of 120 teaching hours distributed in two rotations that are developed during the fourth and fifth years of the career, with a theoretical-practical character. Its contents are guided to the familiarization with the topic of the disasters-causing factors, their effects upon health and the dynamics of society and the communities, as well as to the incorporation of knowledge about risks and vulnerability, besides the associated procedures to diminish them; where the preparatory work with the population and the interrelation among sectors to face adversities are predominant.
