Practice and assistance performance: its epistemologic resizing in the training of the Gastroenterology resident
Abstract
Introduction: In the training of the Gastroenterology resident, the assistance function emerges as one of the most essential because it prepares the future specialist to apply the fundamental basic principles in the practice of the diagnostic-therapeutic endoscopy, aimed at guaranteeing the quality of its medical performance in care of patients with digestive neoplasms. However, the relationship between the practice and the assistance practice still needs an epistemologic resizing to favor the transformation of the professional performance of these specialists. Development: An epistemologic analysis of the relationship between practice, and assistance performance in the training of the Gastroenterology resident was carried out, what allows to connote it starting from a more essential interpretation level, so that transcends the fragmented and instrumental vision of its theoretical approach toward a new totalizer approach that systematizes its training essence from an holistic endoscopic intervention that integrates prevention, diagnosis and therapeutic in the care of patients with digestive neoplasms. Conclusions: The epistemologic reinterpretation of this investigation consolidated the dialectics between the practice and the assistance practice in a superior epistemologic stage, what allows to sustain a new theoretical treatment of this relationship starting from the link between the integral practice of endoscopic-digestive preventive procedures and the preventive-curative endoscopic interventive practice in order to perfect this specialist training.
