Popis: Two questions that today's health professors should ask themselves are: Am I teaching my students in the most effective way possible to train professionals with the standards and needs demanded by today's society? Are my students memorizing facts and concepts or are they developing skills that they integrate into their personal and professional lives? In 1910 the Flexner report was published, which gave rise to the first reforms that sought to establish innovations in the education of health professionals, but the great revolution in world education arose from a study published by Barr and Tagg in 1995 where they stressed the importance of changing the paradigm of education centered on content to a new paradigm where education is centered on learning; Thus, in 1998, within the framework of the World Conference on Higher Education, UNESCO expressed the need to update higher education, bringing it closer to the current challenges of society, and in response to this request, in 1999, several European countries signed the Bologna agreement that seeks to improve the quality of higher education by creating the European Higher Education Area.
