Desde la perspectiva del comercio internacional la prestación de servicios, en particular la de servicios públicos, ha sido un tema reciente. En el caso de la educación este tema se consideraba tradicionalmente como una actividad propia del Estado, asociada al concepto de servicio público. En la actualidad estos conceptos han cambiado y hoy se considera que la educación no sólo puede ser objeto de transacciones comerciales, como cualquier otro servicio, sino que además puede ser exportada. Para Colombia este tema cobra especial importancia de cara a las negociaciones del Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC) con los Estados Unidos de América, no sólo por la especial situación de Colombia como importador neto de servicios de enseñanza, sino también por los posibles efectos que pueda tener este tratado sobre la educación en el país. El objetivo de este documento es analizar las disciplinas del comercio de servicios y su aplicación a los servicios de enseñanza superior en particular, así como las implicaciones concretas para Colombia de las negociaciones de un TLC que incluya en su ámbito de aplicación el tema de los servicios de educación.

Introduction: Comprehensive undergraduate education in clinical sciences is grounded on activities developed during clerkships. To implement the credits system we must know how these experiences take place. Objectives: to describe how students spend time in clerkships, how they assess the educative value of activities and the enjoyment it provides. Method: We distributed a form to a random clustered sample of a 100 students coursing clinical sciences, designed to record the time spent, and to assess the educative value and the grade of enjoyment of the activities in clerkship during a week. Data were registered and analyzed on Excel® 98 and SPSS. Results: mean time spent by students in clerkship activities on a day were 10.8 hours. Of those, 7.3 hours (69%) were spent in formal education activities. Patient care activities with teachers occupied the major proportion of time (15.4%). Of the teaching and learning activities in a week, 28 hours (56%) were spent in patient care activities and 22.4 hours (44.5%) were used in independent academic work. The time spent in teaching and learning activities correspond to 19 credits of a semester of 18 weeks. The activities assessed as having the major educational value were homework activities (4.6) and formal education activities (4.5). The graded as most enjoyable were extracurricular activities, formal educational activities and independent academic work. Conclusion: our students spend more time in activities with patients than the reported in literature. The attending workload of our students is greater than the one reported in similar studies.

Each medical cultural system constructs knowledge about health through specialization or interculturalism. The knowledge constructed through interculturalism has sought, mainly, to adapt the delivery of health care services to the users’ cultural referents. This emphasis has overlooked the opportunities embedded in the establishment of intercultural relationships between medical systems based on dialogue, especially in regard to the adjustment of the disciplinary boundaries of medical cultural systems that would allow the construction of new knowledge on health. This absence of dialogue has been determined by epistemological barriers inherent to every system as well as by social domination. This article presents some concepts related to cognition processes which encourage the reflection on the possibilities to overcome such barriers so that the health sciences may contribute to the effective implementation of the World Health Organization and the State’s recommendations on the matter.
