Ten years contributing to medical training

What is aware if not shared or transmitted? With this idea in mind, and after determining that there was need to strengthen the teaching of Gynecological Endocrinology in the country, the doctors Miguel Antonio Fiallo and Vinicio Calventi initiated a series of talks on the subject in cities like Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata, La Romana and Barahona.

Initiative bore fruit and became precedent for the Golden Caduceus, a training programme on Gynecologic Endocrinology who just turned ten years and contributes to the formation of the residents of Gynecology in the country.

The program, which two years ago was extended to the residences of Cardiology and is sponsored by the Healthcare Pharmaceuticals company, has two components: a series of lectures on academic content and an annual awards ceremony.

In Awards is awarded the Golden Caduceus for the resident who obtains the highest score in a test u000adeveloped based on talks and contributions from the heads of teaching of residences, and the silver Caduceus for the best resident from each of the participating hospitals, are nine.

"Almost always which wins the Golden Caduceus has won the silver Caduceus because it has been the best resident at the hospital in which forms", says Fiallo, director medical of Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals for the Caribbean and creator of the program. The winner of the Golden Caduceus receives award for a colposcope and recipients with the Caduceus of silver, a doppler.

This means, according to Fung charity, Coordinator of education of the Hospital of the women Dominican, one of the nine residences involved in the program, residents are very important tools for a doctor just starting in the exercise of their specialty.

material award is the least when compared with the contribution to, training, u000athey are residents.

That knowledge may even make them reconsider the way professional that will follow.

So happened to Maria Isabel Hernandez, who won the Golden Caduceus in 2008 and, following the conclusion of his specialty in the women's Hospital, made a subspecialty in gynaecology Endocrinology at the maternity leave our Lady of Altagracia.

"Talks you motivate them to see the woman as a complete entity, not as an instrument for reproduction which is as often see patients while we we're forming", says Hernández.

The young specialist sums up the value of what they learned in one sentence: "Endocrinology I did endocrinóloga, made me better gynecologist".

And best gynaecologists are in a better quality of life for women.
