RESUMOIntrodução: Cabo Verde é um pequeno estado insular em desenvolvimento. A sua primeira experiência em educação médica pré-graduada começou em outubro de 2015. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever e analisar as expectativas profissionais e o perfil da primeira turma de estudantes de medicina na recente escola de medicina de Cabo Verde. Material e Métodos: Um questionário padronizado, dirigido, com perguntas fechadas e abertas, foi distribuído aos estudantes de medicina inscritos que frequentaram as aulas no dia da pesquisa. Todos os dados foram analisados usando SPSS. Resultados: Os alunos decidiram estudar medicina a meio da adolescência. Parentes e amigos parecem ter tido uma influência importante nessa decisão. Outras razões principais para escolher a formação médica incluem "para cuidar de outras pessoas", "fascínio para os assuntos da medicina" e "meu desejo desde sempre". O grau de feminização dessa população estudantil é extremamente alta (20/25; 80,0%). Os estudantes de medicina estão, em geral satisfeitos com o programa de formação e têm expectativas de que a formação recebida lhes permitirá ser bons profissionais. No entanto, eles consideram o curso muito teórico. Os estudantes de medicina consideram que isso pode representar a sua oportunidade para contribuir para o bem-estar público e suas expectativas são para combinar o uso do sector público com o trabalho privado. Os estudantes de medicina vieram principalmente da ilha de Santiago, onde está localizada a capital do país e que também é o local preferido para a prática futura. Eles ainda não decidiram sobre a sua futura área de especialização. Mas todos aqueles que querem se especializar, querem fazê-lo no estrangeiro. A maioria deles espera seguir carreira hospitalar em vez de trabalho baseado na administração de saúde ou nos centros de saúde. Discussão: Este estudo contribui para o crescente conhecimento sobre as dificuldades do estudante de medicina e expectativa das escolas médicas ou programas de ensino médico nos países lusófonos. A decisão de investir na formação local de médicos justificase pela necessidade de se ser menos dependente do estrangeiro no processo. Programas locais de pós-graduação médica são considerados uma prioridade para o futuro imediato. with closed and open-ended questions, was distributed to registered medical students attending classes on the day of the survey. All data were analyzed using SPSS.Results: Students decided to study medicine in their mid-teens with relatives and friends having had significant influence over their decisions. Other major reasons for choosing medical training include "to take care of other people", "fascination for the subject matters of medicine" and "I have always wanted to". The degree of feminization of the student population is extremely high (20/25; 80.0%). Medical students are in general satisfied with the training program, and have expectations that the training received will allow them to be good professionals. Nevertheless, they consider the course too theoretical. Medical student...
BackgroundIn 2017, a North-South partnership was created, to strengthen Bioethics Committees in African Lusophone African countries (LAC), by joining the forces of National and Institutional Research Ethics Committees (REC) and Universities in Angola, Cape Verde, Mozambique and Portugal. This study is part of an EDCTP2-funded project and aims to describe key RECs operating in LAC, its establishment dates and further characteristics.MethodsDocument analysis and interviews with REC representatives of five LAC were conducted in April 2018. Legal documents were obtained through official national sources.ResultsWe identified four National Ethics Committees, created between 2000 and 2008 by ministerial or governmental decree; only S. Tomé e Principe does not have an established REC. In Angola, the National REC was created in 2000, and since 2007, seven Institutional Committees were implemented at faculty level. National REC in Cape Verde and Guinee-Bissau (CNES) are unique and were founded in 2007 and 2009 respectively. In Mozambique, National REC (CNBS) dates to 2002, and since 2011, 8 Institutional Committees were formed; they functioned as a network under the umbrella of CNBS. Most National REC have representatives from health professional associations, lawyers, civil society and religious communities and have regular meetings (usually monthly). The number of members ranges between 6 (CNES) and 13 (CNBS). In 2007, around 200 protocols were reviewed by CNBS and 29 by CNES. Most of the National REC members attended training activities in bioethics but at different levels.ConclusionFew publications described REC operating in LAC; this study fills this gap by reporting historical and functional characteristics of RECs in five Lusophone African countries. Additional tools based on quantitative and qualitative approaches are being developed to assess more in-depth REC operational characteristics and to identify their needs in order to target training and capacity building initiatives underlying our project.
