No. of bitstreams: 1 Mauro Esteves Hernandes.pdf: 1344694 bytes, checksum: 2390d3e0a4a9e6e6e99d80cbff005323 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-02-09 / Introduction: The complexity of becoming a professor at the Medical School has been cause for concern in recent decades among professionals in the field. However, few studies and case reports have been published. Progressively during the physician’s professional career, there is possibility of improving his scientific knowledge in a specific field and at a given moment, he is faced with the possibility of becoming a professor, often without adequate pedagogical knowledge to develop such a function, which consequently impacts the quality of the learning process. Objective: To analyze the transition from community physician to a Medical School professor in a university located at northwest of Sao Paulo, as well as assessing the physician’s perceptions and feelings related to the implementation of the course with active methodologies and whether there is a difference between the curricular units. After approval of the Research Ethics Committee, two different samples of medical professors were obtained from two different curricular units from the medical school: Training of Medical Abilities and Attitudes (THAM) and Tutorial Module (MT). Qualitative data was obtained in two different moments and the groups answered a total of four questions. The analysis of the data content was based on Bardin (2011). Conclusion: The perception of how different these performance spaces are was unanimous. They feel able to the professional activity and unable to teaching. The short time for teaching activity caused fear, anguish, anxiety and insecurity, exacerbated by the lack of preparing for that. The skills and learning acquired during the accomplishment of the Professional Masters in Education made the construction of the pedagogical process easier. The teaching activity impacted the life of the medical professional since the moment that it provoked the reflection and changes of behavior in their professional practice / Introdução: A complexidade de tornar-se médico docente em Curso de Graduação em Medicina tem sido motivo de preocupação nas últimas décadas entre profissionais da área. Entretanto, poucos estudos e alguns relatos de experiência têm sido publicados. No decorrer de sua carreira profissional, o médico progressivamente tem a possibilidade de aprimorar seus conhecimentos científicos na sua área de atuação e em determinado momento, deparar-se com a possibilidade de tornar-se docente, muitas vezes sem condições pedagógicas suficientes para desenvolver tal função e, consequentemente, trazer implicações na qualidade que envolve o processo de ensino aprendizagem. Objetivo: Esta pesquisa visa analisar o processo de transição de médico a docente em um centro universitário do noroeste paulista, bem como analisar as percepções e os sentimentos dos docentes a respeito da implantação do curso com metodologias ativas e se há diferença entre as unidades curriculares. A amostra de conveniência foi constituída por docentes médicos de duas unidades curriculares distintas do curso de Medicina: Treinamento de Habilidades e Atitudes Médicas (THAM) e Módulo Tutorial (MT) após aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Utilizou-se a técnica de grupos focais em dois momentos para obtenção dos dados qualitativos. Os grupos responderam a quatro perguntas. A análise dos conteúdos dos dados fundamentou-se em Bardin (2011). Conclusão: Foi unânime a percepção do quão distintos são estes espaços de atuação. Sentem-se preparados para a atividade profissional e despreparados para a docência. O tempo reduzido na docência trouxe sentimentos de medo, angústia, ansiedade e insegurança, exacerbados pela falta de preparo para a docência. As capacitações e o aprendizado adquirido durante a realização do Mestrado Profissional em Educação foram facilitadores no processo de construção pedagógica. A docência trouxe impacto na vida do profissional médico a partir do momento que provocou, nestes docentes, reflexão e mudanças de comportamento na sua prática profissional

The HIV/AIDS pandemic has had a seriously negative impact on the South African workplace, with industries experiencing the many adverse effects of the disease such as the problem of absenteeism. Other effects of HIV/AIDS at the workplace include loss of productivity and profitability, especially if the disease is not managed properly. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of HIV/AIDS within the private medical practice industry in Umlazi Township, in the Province of KwaZulu Natal. The research methodology used was quantitative. There are only 40 private medical practices in Umlazi Township. The entire population of private medical practices is included in the sample because of the manageable population size. No sampling method was therefore used. Close-ended questionnaires ware hand delivered to all the doctors in all the private medical practices in Umlazi. The questionnaires were collected once the doctor indicated that s/he completed it. The salient finding of this study were that HIV/AIDS induced absenteeism is a major challenge for private medical practitioners. A good HIV/AIDS policy is necessary for the medical doctors to effectively manage HIV/AIDS at their private medical practices. While the respondents acknowledged the effectiveness of an HIV/AIDS policy if implemented, they understood that it would be difficult to implement it. Because of its effect on business sustainability, HIV/AIDS can result in serious problems for private medical practices, including bankruptcy. The recommendations of the study are for private medical practices to implement their own HIV/AIDS policy – which must encompasses education, training and treatment of those that are infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS. The study highly recommends and encourages staff to undergo VCT (Voluntary Counselling and Testing) so that the disease can be identified early – which makes management of it timely, and more effective. / Thesis (MBA)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2012.

Este trabalho é o resultado do esforço de um clínico que resolve analisar criticamente a prática clínica atual, da qual foi um seguidor ortodoxo por mais de uma década. O leitor não terá dificuldades em perceber que, por trás da análise mais ou menos coerente, está à busca do autor no sentido da construção de um "campo clínico ampliado" capaz de superar as evidentes limitações do modelo oficial. O capítulo I é uma tentativa de análise crítica da coerência do discurso da medicina "científica", quando cotejado com a realidade objetiva da prática clínica. O capítulo II, estuda o fenômeno provocado pela aplicação do discurso clínico oficial sobre a clientela extra-hospitalar, o capítulo III é uma abordagem preocupada com o que se poderia chamar de dimensões não-farmacológicas dos medicamentos. No Capitulo IV buscou-se agrupar evidências no sentido de delinear um perfil do que seria a medicina extra-hospitalar

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The veterinary industry is operating in a highly regulated environment. Up till now these regulations prevented veterinarians to freely market veterinary services, especially professional services. Every business person in the biggest part of the world is subject to free-market economic pressures. However in the case of the professional, who is also a business person, these economic market-pressures could become very intense and unbalanced, and lead to what is called the “professional dilemma” (Du Preez, 2003: 8). Professional persons are governed by their respective codes of conduct. Those professionals who practice as entrepreneurs therefore need to be more business skilled and creative to successfully manage their businesses as they do not have the luxury of utilising the normal business strategies and options. The state of professionalism within the veterinary profession in South Africa in terms of entrepreneurship has been addressed in the past, but there is still a major gap in terms of providing business tools to managers in the veterinary industry. The biggest challenge in terms of the general business functions faced by veterinarians is the marketing function, thus the reason for this study. It is necessary that the highly regulated environments of professionals being understood. Therefore the research has been conducted by highlighting these environments. The researcher then continues to analyse the internal and external environment, client needs and customer profile in order to identify ways of optimising marketing opportunities. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die veeartseny industrie word bedryf in ‘n hoogs gereguleerde omgewing. Hierdie regulasies het veeartse tot nou toe verhoed om dienste, veral professionele dienste, vrylik te bemark. Besigheidspersone regoor die wêreld verkeer onder vryemark ekonomiese druk. In die geval van die professionele persoon, wat ook ‘n besigheidspersoon is, kan die ekonomiese druk baie intens en ongebalansseerd word. Daar word verwys na die “professionele dilemma” (Du Preez, 2003: 8). Professionele persone word gereguleer deur hul onderskeie kodes. Daardie professionele persone wat praktiseer as entrepreneurs moet dus oor meer besigheids- en kreatiewe vaardighede beskik om hul besigheid suksesvol te bestuur. Hulle het nie die luuksheid om die algemene strategiee te benut nie. Die stand van professionalisme in die veeartsenyprofessie in Suid- Afrika in terme van entrepeneurskap is al voorheen aangespreek, maar daar is nog steeds gapings ten opsigte van die beskikbaarstelling van besigheidsvaardighede aan bestuurders in die bedryf. Die grootste uitdaging in terme van besigheidsfunksies wat veeartse in die gesig staar, is die bemarkingsfunksie. Dit is dus die rede vir hierdie studieprojek. Dit is belangrik dat die hoogs gereguleerde omgewing van professionele persone verstaan word. Die studie begin dus deur hierdie verskillende omgewings te skets. Die studie skenk verder aandag aan die ontleding van die interne en eksterne omgewings, klientebehoeftes en –profiel om maniere te vind om bemarkingsgeleenthede binne regulasies ten volle te kan benut.
