[Historical development, current status and future perspectives of medical education in Chile].

This paper is a critical review in three parts. The first part reviews the past development of medical education in Chile in five stages (1833-1883, 1883-1933, 1933-1968, 1968-1973, and from 1973 to the present), in which the salient features and events are cited. The second part describes the present status of the five medical education programs; undergraduate medical training, graduate medical training, research, advanced training of teaching personnel, and planning and administration. The third part considers the prospects of medical education in each of those five programs. In this part the author presents his conclusions, for example, that it is necessary to review the number of vacancies for admission to the schools of medicine and to measure the academic and vocational aptitude of applicants; that the basic objectives of graduate training should be studied and formulated; that new course subjects should be added in response to the demands that will confront graduates in the future; that the objectives in areas of specialization should be revised; that it is urgent to assess the relationship of research to medical instruction; that pedagogical aspects should be incorporated into the advanced technical training of professionals, and, lastly, that the process of university planning in Chile needs to be refined.

[The professional profile of the physician].

This article presents a study done to develop a professional profile of the physician based on the criteria of the medical faculty of the School of Medicine of Concepción University, Chile. It describes the methodology applied in the study and the results obtained organized under five heads: the personal qualities of the physician, professional ethics, professional competence, professional improvement, and the administrative aspects of the physician's work. The article stresses that constructing a professional profile is the most efficient way to organize the entire process of professional training and curriculum evaluation and that, therefore, every university should devise and continually revise the profiles of the professions in which it offers training.
