Abstract

Introduction

University teaching professionalization is a necessity in modern society. The scientific and technical revolution that has been taking place in the world demands a different preparation for teachers. Modern universities need professors adapted to these new times. The professionalization of teachers today constitutes a challenge as well as a social commitment.

The professionalization of the university faculty has characteristics that mark its particularity in correspondence with the corporate purpose of the organization and is valued as one of the essential pillars to meet social demands and demands. In this way, it constitutes a necessity, as a condition for the certification of the quality of the processes that are developed in it [1].

 Currently the National Public Health System in Cuba has been immersed in a process of transformation with a view to increasing the main health indicators with efficiency, rationality and maintaining sustainable development [2]. To achieve this it is necessary to draw up actions that involve human resources from their training process.

In recent years, a growing concern has been manifested, both nationally and internationally, for the pedagogical preparation of teachers of Higher Medical Education [3]. The teacher of these times must have pedagogical mastery in such a way that he is capable of transmitting his knowledge and these are assimilated by his students.

In this context, the professionalization of the university professor is a priority, a process that should be understood as a continuous and systematic improvement of their academic qualification, which is in no way spontaneous or totally self-directed, since it requires the existence of institutional strategies that stimulate and guide said process, in addition to the individual interest of each teacher involved [2]. The teacher must be the first manager of his own knowledge.

The assumption that the doctor, because of his quality, is qualified to teach, and therefore, that the students learn from him, is part of the past. The challenge is to go further; It is imperative to have the implementation of properly structured programs, based on the assessment of needs within each school and a study of their impact [4,5]. It is essential that the teacher of the medical career, in addition to the knowledge of his profession, has the ability to elucidate the context where he is transmitting his knowledge.

Studies carried out by various authors indicate that there is no identity of the doctor as a teacher, so the issue of teacher professionalization is relevant and is a guideline for discussion in research. Not knowing the pedagogical aspects that the teaching profession entails, doctors look for elements such as roles, profiles and identity as a way to approach the subject. Likewise, in the research on the roles of the medical teacher, the lack of an identity towards the educational field is reaffirmed. This shows that there is a need to professionalize teaching in the medical area since when the doctor teaches in front of the students he does not stop acting as such, that is, he acts as a doctor and not as a teacher [6].

In research carried out with medical professors, it has been found that teaching is considered a secondary activity to the medical profession and that the teaching career is not considered a profession [5, 7]. However, the medical teacher, as a component of the teaching-learning process, becomes a basic piece and his participation acquires an active and significant quality as a facilitator of learning, helping at all times to the comprehensive training of the student [4, 5]. To be a professor at a medical school, it is not enough to be a good health professional, but you must achieve the skills for teaching professionalization.

Hence, it is appropriate to reflect on what the role of the medical teacher who trains other doctors is and should be and what strategies the responsible and adequately pedagogical exercise of their work in the classroom and in practice settings presents [8]. Together with this, he must incorporate to his knowledge all the available resources of the new technologies that allow him to interact with the student efficiently.

Cuban medical education has been linked since 1959 to the development of the National Health System (SNS), and since the Declaration of Alma-Ata, it has benefited from the conception of primary care and family medicine. Therefore, the formation of human capital corresponds to the needs of the SNS [9]. The medical university builds its own human resources and guarantees you a job after completing your undergraduate studies.

The Ministry of Higher Education has established three main teaching categories in Cuba: assistant professor, assistant professor and tenured professor. There is also the transitory category of instructor, which are established in Ministerial Resolution Number 85/2016 [5, 10]: "Regulation for the Application of the Teaching Categories of Higher Education". It is essential for the transit through these categories to maintain a satisfactory job as a teacher, as well as to demonstrate knowledge about foreign language and social problems of science, in addition to being active in research, development and technological innovation.5 Teachers who do not meet these requirements cannot move to a higher teaching category and may even lose the one they hold.

If we talk about the doctor's teaching training, this implies that the doctor assumes himself with this duality of profession: as a doctor and as a teacher, and acquires responsibility for his training path in teaching. Depending on the meaning that teachers have regarding teaching, it is the way they act day by day in their teaching practice. Therefore, the meaning that the doctor as a teacher gives to teaching is an important element to consider in the study of their training processes.

It is necessary to study how the postgraduate processes contribute to the pedagogical preparation of the trainers, so that the practice is reflected, supported and guided by a theory that consistently addresses this important issue [3]. In order to be a good teacher, the doctor must master the pedagogical tools, in addition to the content of his profession, to ensure that his students learn and obtain quality training.

I am very pleased to serve as EBM of the journal, I hope many years of my experience in stem cells can help the journal from one way or another. As we know, stem cells hold great potential for regenerative medicine, which are mostly used to promote the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives. I think Stem Cell Research and Therapeutics International is a great platform to publish and share the understanding towards the biology and translational or clinical application of stem cells.
