“…Historically, the Brazilian training of healthcare professionals has been marked by a huge presence of private HEIs (Franco & Poz, 2018). Although the MEC regulates both types of institutions, private institutions mainly function in a business model, in which authorities are mainly executive boards, professors have little influence, students are seen as consumers, and most decisions are based on increasing profit and not necessarily on educational aspects (Franco & Poz, 2018; Poz et al., 2016). Thus, students from private HEIs, despite investing time, dedication, substantial financial resources from their families and even government subsidies (CAIXA, 2022), may be receiving an education not supported by scientific evidence.…”

Background and PurposePhysiotherapists worldwide are encouraged to integrate evidence‐based practice (EBP) to provide safer and effective services. However, for professionals to consolidate this practice, the contact with EBP must begin at the university. In this study, we aimed to map and analyze the distribution of EBP courses and their characteristics in undergraduate physiotherapy programs in Brazil.MethodsThis web‐based document analysis study analyzed the current curricula of undergraduate physiotherapy programs in Brazil according to their availability on university sites. The identification of curricular components and analysis of EBP course syllabi used evidence‐based descriptive terms. A descriptive analysis was used to verify the frequency and the regional distribution of EBP courses.ResultsOf 1033 accredited programs in Brazil, 809 curricula were analyzed. Only 9.4% (76/809) of the analyzed curricula presented EBP courses; the mean duration of courses was 44.3 (SD 13.5) hours. Southeast region had the greatest number of undergraduate programs (46.5%, 376/809), and the north region had a proportionally greater number of EBP courses (24%, 12/50). In addition, 15.6% (10/64) and 8.9% (66/739) of the curricula of public and private institutions, respectively, provided EBP content. Critical appraisal was the most mentioned step among 15 undergraduate programs with complete EBP syllabi.DiscussionMost undergraduate physiotherapy programs in Brazil did not offer an EBP course. Also, an unbalanced emphasis on the critical appraisal step was observed. The lack of EBP content and skills in the curricula of Brazilian undergraduate physiotherapy programs may negatively influence the training, decision‐making, and clinical practice of physiotherapists. A re‐evaluating of the current undergraduate programs and curricula for EBP‐based education is needed.

“…Although such educational developments can enhance accessibility of services, they have regulatory challenges as well. 23 The Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health stated that establishing new dental schools would be effective for enhancement of geographical distribution of dental specialists, but there is no evidence in this respect. 24 Maia et al 25 evaluated the characteristics of expanding private dental education, and discussed that increasing the number of dental schools can affect the dental job market but cannot guarantee better and fair distribution of dentists and dental services.…”

“…Development of Dental Specialties in Iran: A Qualitative Study would be associated with a considerable rise in costs. 23 Moreover, considering the limited financial resources and high cost of undergraduate and postgraduate dental educations, 28 it is imperative to estimate the number and type of oral health service providers according to precise need assessment. Eklund and Bailit 29 believed that high number of dental graduates in the United States had little scientific justification, and discussed that study of supply and demand should be prioritized to establishing a new dental school.…”

Objectives: Dental specialties in Iran were first established in 1970s, and developed over time. Considering that information is essential for health policymaking, and lack of it is the main problem; therefore, policymakers require adequate knowledge about development and alterations of healthcare providers to recognize the influential factors on them. Regarding the information gap on development of dental specialties in Iran, this qualitative study aimed to assess it. Methods: This qualitative case study was conducted through 12 semi-structured interviews with the experts and pioneers of the oral healthcare system in Iran who were selected by purposive and snowball sampling. Data were analyzed by content analysis method, which included transcribing, identifying the meaning units, abstracting the content, sorting codes, and formulating themes using Atlas.ti software. Results: After data analysis, three main themes were extracted regarding development of dental specialties in Iran according to the interviewees: (A) trend of development, (B) challenges of development, and (C) necessities of development. Trend of development of dental specialties included two comprehensive phases, and one phase focusing on quantity and inadequate attention to quality. The challenges of development of dental specialties included management and policy-making problems, interactions outside the system, popularity of specialization, and process of admission to specialty programs. The necessity of need assessment, paying attention to the costs of healthcare interventions, defining the range of specialization, and revision of dental specialty programs are among the necessities of development of dental specialties. Conclusion: Dental specialties in Iran were developed at a time with inadequate attention to shortage of infrastructure based on political interactions. The popularity of specialization in dentistry and the associated high costs in a free educational system highlight the significance of need assessment regarding the number of specialists required in academic and therapeutic fields, and setting some criteria for development of specialty programs.

“…Fenómenos internacionales como la globalización, las transformaciones económicas, así como el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías de la información, han implicado cambios recientes en la educación superior que pueden verse reflejados en la aplicación de diferentes procesos de enseñanza, expansión de los sistemas de enseñanza, internalización y masificación de la educación superior, entre otros (Poz et al, 2016); además existen problemáticas inherentes como el rezago escolar y la reprobación de los estudiantes en este nivel. A la par de estos, se han incorporado estrategias para su atención, por ejemplo, en México, organismos como la Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior (ANUIES) ha dedicado parte de su quehacer al impulso de programas como las tutorías para contribuir a la solución de las problemáticas inherentes mencionadas, así como con otros aspectos relacionados con la formación de los estudiantes y su rendimiento académico.…”

(México), con el propósito de generar estrategias que contribuyan a la mejora de los aspectos que resultaron como áreas de oportunidad. La resiliencia, se integra por diversos elementos que pueden ser fortalecidos desde el programa de tutorías que orienta una formación humanista. A partir de técnicas e instrumentos propios de la metodología cuantitativa, se aplica el instrumento de resiliencia individual, el cual ha mostrado alta confiabilidad. Los resultados indican que la mayoría de los participantes se encuentran en una etapa de resiliencia aceptable. Sin embargo, es necesario plantear acciones para trabajar con los elementos que no fueron de todo positivos y así alcanzar la etapa de resiliencia deseable.
