Intercultural conceptions and competencies in the training of doctors trained by URACCAN University

Abstract

This article, derived from the doctoral research process, analyzes part of the scientific production aimed at the training of human resources in health, particularly that referred to crucial aspects of intercultural conceptions and competencies of the doctors trained at URACCAN University, with a perspective of intercultural health. The approach is qualitative, hermeneutical, and the results respond to the content analysis applied to the scientific evidence found resulting from the etymological search oriented from academic search engines and indexed electronic journals, guided by established descriptors. In this regard, there is a great consensus in the aforementioned works, which confirm that the development of intercultural competencies in this direction is increasingly pertinent to the global context in which these professionals operate, ensuring that medical training is therefore redefine in congruence with the ethnic and cultural diversity of the peoples themselves. However, it is necessary to deepen the practices of the intercultural physician, from clinical practice in contact with their patients.
