[Pan American seminar on education and health care].
This is the Final Report of the Seminar, which was held at Caracas last February under the sponsorship of the World Federation of Medical Education and the World Health Organization, and organized by the Pan American Federation of Medical Schools and the Pan American Health Organization. The Seminar was attended by delegates from universities, ministries of education and health, social security administrations, medical educators, officers of national and international agencies, and other special guests from the Region of the Americas. These participants made up a broad-spectrum interinstitutional and interprofessional working group that brought an interdisciplinary analytical approach to the subjects dealt with. The Seminar examined the context of the relationship between education and health care, and discussed the following specific topics: need for coordination between education and health services, present systems of interrelationships, mechanisms for productive interrelations and a plan of action. The topics were considered in general sessions and then analyzed in discussion group meetings. The Report contains summaries of the presentations and commentaries on each subject and the consolidated reports of the discussion groups.
