Diagnostic study of the evaluation of the impact of medicalspecialties on the teaching function

Abstract

The conception and results of a diagnostic study are presented to determine the current status of the impact assessment of medical specialties on the teaching role of graduates. Data collection and processing to produce the desired information were carried out through documentary analysis, interviews with academics and assessment experts, qualitative content analysis, triangulation, analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, UCINET software, and Atlas.ti. It became evident that the impact assessment of this subject is a temporary, unsystematic practice, and inorganically incorporated into the quality management system.
