Training of health professionals
One of the Foundation’s main objectives is to train future health professionals, which is why each year it works with around 400 students from different levels of training in the areas of medicine, nursing, social work, psychology, nutrition, physiotherapy and kinesiology, among others.
+130
Interns trained each year.
+250
Medical students on rotation pass through the hospital.
3
Residents complete their residency in pediatrics each year.
Importance of the practices...
Because the Albina R. de Patiño Pediatrics Center is the only private hospital specializing in pediatrics in Bolivia, it is very important for students to have access to internships, practicums or residencies in order to have access to highly qualified mentors who will help them learn in this area during their professional training.
OUR MEANS
Estudiantes a partir de su tercer año en medicina, que realizan prácticas rotatorias en Bioquímica, Psicología, fisioterapia, trabajo social, enfermería, parvulario, nutrición y dietética, psicomotricidad y deportes, entre otros.
Médicos que realizan su especialidad y que son asignados a nuestro hospital por el Ministerio de Salud para hacer su residencia por 3 años. A través de las residencias, los médicos llegan a adquirir mayores conocimientos científicos y de trato humano, a cargo de un doctor especialista.
Se reciben estudiantes de medicina de último año de las universidades San Simón, Univalle y Unifranz, los cuales realizan su internado por 1 año. Durante este tiempo están a cargo de un doctor especialista que los forma e instruye para que puedan llegar a ser profesionales altamente capacitados.
I opted for my specialty training at this hospital because of its reputation and recognition for quality education and training.
Once here it was very pleasant to find that my expectations had been exceeded and that I was able to train and work in a very pleasant environment surrounded by quality professionals and human warmth. Today, after finishing my specialty, I feel confident of my training and I am proud to have been part of this family that in solidarity puts the best pediatric care within reach of Bolivian families and whoever for one reason or another comes to our land.
