“…One specific problem on this kind of activities is the attendance (9,10). Because of daily activities it is very difficult for professionals to take part of any post-graduate training instead they receive a specific authorization from their superiors.…”

Bioethics teaching has traditionally focused on classroom activities, but there is a widely recognized need for professional development opportunities for people with active scientific, clinical or administrative duties. Moreover, there is a shortage of evaluations of ethics programs and curricula. In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed hygiene, epidemiology and microbiology professionals who attended 7 ethics courses in Matanzas province, Cuba. The curriculum consisted of 2 main themes: research ethics and public health ethics. The survey comprised pre-and post-test assessments and in-depth interviews of all participants 3 months after the end of each course. Most attendees (i) appeared to demonstrate increased of knowledge in research and public health ethics, including international guidelines, (ii) gave positive assessments of the courses and (iii) affirmed the importance and pertinence of such training activities. This small study is suggestive of the kinds of professional development opportunities available in limited resource settings.Key words: training program, bioethics, public health, postgraduate education Desarrollo de un plan de estudios institucional en ética y salud pública Resumen: La enseñanza de la bioética se ha enfocado tradicionalmente en actividades de aula, pero hay una necesidad ampliamente reconocida de oportunidades de desarrollo profesional para las personas con funciones científicas, clínicas o administrativas activas.

En este estudio transversal, encuestamos a profesionales de la higiene, epidemiología y microbiología, que asistieron a siete cursos de ética en la provincia de Matanzas, Cuba. El plan de estudios consistió en dos temas principales: ética de la investigación y ética de la salud pública. Esta medición comprendió una pre y post evaluación y entrevistas en profundidad con todos los participantes tres meses después del final de cada curso. La mayoría de los participantes (i) parecía demostrar un aumento de los conocimientos sobre investigación y ética de la salud pública, incluidas las directrices internacionales, (ii) dio una evaluación positiva de los cursos, y (iii) ratificó la importancia y pertinencia de este tipo de actividades de capacitación. Este pequeño estudio sugiere tipos de oportunidades de desarrollo profesional disponibles en entornos de recursos limitados.Palabras clave: programa de formación, bioética, salud pública, educación de posgrado Desenvolvimento de um plano de estudos institucional em ética e saúde públicaResumo: O ensino da bioética tem sido enfocado tradicionalmente em atividades de aula, porém há uma necessidade amplamente reconhecida de oportunidades de desenvolvimento profissional para as pessoas com funções científicas, clínicas ou administrativas ativas.

“…Previous studies have shown favourable results with the implementation of specialty-specific skills courses [6,7]. In particular, a work-based structure with repeated episodes of training spaced out over weeks to months have been suggested as the most favourable format [8,9]. We aimed to develop and trial a self-titled "Registrar Academy" in the hope to better prepare residents…”

Objectives: To determine whether a six-week orthopaedic surgical skills course could increase resident skills and confidence before transitioning to registrar practice.Methods: Unaccredited registrars, orthopaedic trainees, and orthopaedic consultants, through a departmental peer-reviewed process and survey, developed a six-session course ("Registrar Academy") that included basic knowledge and essential practical skills training for residents with interest in becoming orthopaedic registrars. Mixed method quantitative and qualitative evidence was sought via a 14-item and 18-item Likert scale questionnaire coupled with open-ended questions.Results: Results were qualitatively synthesised using quantitative and qualitative data. Thirteen residents participated in the course. All residents agreed to statements indicating they felt unprepared to work as an orthopaedic registrar and were not confident in performing various core tasks required. After completing the course, residents indicated greater confidence or comfort in all these areas and felt better prepared for the transition to registrar. There was broad approval of the course among participants. Every participant who completed the final questionnaire agreed or strongly agreed that they enjoyed the course and that it taught usable, reproducible practical skills and increased their orthopaedic knowledge.This group also uniformly agreed or strongly agreed that the course improved their patient care and patient safety. Conclusion:Residents feel unprepared for their transition to an orthopaedic registrar and lack confidence in several core competencies. A supplemental "Registrar Academy" is an effective way to improve knowledge, confidence, and practical skills for residents wishing to transition to a registrar position.

“…3,4 To resolve inexperience, possible medicolegal concerns, and potential risks for patients used by trainers as teaching subjects, it has been recommended that a large part of teaching and practice should occur outside the operating room. [4][5][6][7] Practicing transplantation surgery on relevant animal models is thus a widely used option for learning and practicing different techniques in a near-to-clinical scenario. 5,8 Besides the animal models, cadaveric training remains the gold standard before surgery on the live patient.…”
