Avances del Modelo Educativo para Desarrollar Actividades Profesionales Confiables (MEDAPROC)

The Educational Model to Develop Entrustable Professional Activities (MEDAPROC) arises as a response to the implementation of competency-based education. It is a multidisciplinary project based on interpretative epistemology, the constructivist paradigm, the transformations of the national health system, and the context of the current practice of medicine. Its purpose is to encourage the acquisition of essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes by the medical student. It integrates the international trend of the entrustable professional activities and converts them into entrustable professional activities (APROC). MEDAPROC proposes that the development of the APROC be promoted in an inverse manner, from the profile of the graduate to the beginning of the undergraduate studies. Therefore, it is involved in several phases of the learning and teaching process (planning, didactics, assessment, and feedback) through projects to implement didactic strategies and assessment resources, with the support of teacher training, educational research, and technology. Its aim is to improve medical and health sciences education, with the firm purpose of making a positive change in the health care quality from the educational environment.
