VELASQUEZ GAVIRIA, Laura Marcela y SAAVEDRA ESTUPINAN, Myriam. The competencies of the neurologist in Colombia: a proposal. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.3, pp.125-130. Epub 07-Nov-2020. ISSN 0120-8748. https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022298.
INTRODUCTION:
Having a clear idea of professional competencies allows to direct properly the academic economic and social efforts to accomplish the neurologist's vocation; neverthless, the literature is scarce.
OBJECTIVE:
Describe the professional competencies of clinical neurologists in Colombia.
METHODS AND MATERIALS:
It is a descriptive exploratory qualitative study, carried out according to grounded theory, through a semi-structured interview with 23 leaders of the specialty in Colombia.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
From the interviews, transversal and specific competences are drawn up according to the model of the Ministry of Health, complementing the 8 previously proposed by ASCOFAME, for a total of 34 competencies divided into five domains.
CONCLUSIONS:
After knowing the neurologist's competencies, it's mandatory to design perfomance criteria to measure the achievement of those abilities. Since competencies depend on the conditions of society which are in constant change, their reassessment must be continuous.
