Methodology for training the resident of general surgery in the comprehensive care to the patient with colon cancer

Abstract

Introduction: The specialization program in effective general surgery covers the topic colon cancer in Coloproctology, in the second year, which duration decreases to one month; completely insufficient time to embrace all the pertinent theoretical and practical contents. That is why, a methodology for training the resident of general surgery in the comprehensive care to the patient with colon cancer is proposed, for which the theoretical methods of analysis and synthesis, systematizing and generalization of experiences were applied, as well as the systemic structural functional and the holistic dialectical method.

Development: The training purpose declared in the curriculum doesn't fit with the systematizing orientation and the training generalization, as dialectical contradiction and didactics principle of higher education; there is no appropriate epistemologic and methodologic systematization, what is evidenced by the fragmentation, lack of coherence and flexibility for its application in the varied context where the surgeon training happens. The asystemic training fragmentation very comprehensive of the curriculum doesn't energize the pedagogic process of this training to fulfill the suitable objectives.

Conclusions: This proposal stratifies the theoretical and practical contents for the topic colon cancer in specific, with a level of upward complexity during the whole specialization in general surgery, and together with the effective realization of the activities concerning the education at work, what can contribute to this professional training in the comprehensive care to the patient with colon cancer.
