Pesquisa translacional do ensino superior no campo das ciências da saúde

Abstract

Translational research arises in a context of super-specialization of scientific research activities, which bring the need for greater communication between the basic and clinical areas. This article tries to elucidate the importance of the incentive to the translational research by the professor in the higher education in the field of the health sciences in order to demonstrate its effectiveness in the professional formation. In this sense, translational research assumes preponderant relevance for the academic training of undergraduate and graduate students in the health area. The objective of this research was to show, through a bibliographical review of the current scientific literature, the importance of the incentive to translational research in higher education courses by the health professors and the main impacts on professional training. As methods, an exploratory study was carried out, through a bibliographical research based on already elaborated material, made up of scientific articles and specialized books. As results, it has been demonstrated that the incentive to translational research is the fastest way for scientific information to be transmitted both for clinical research and for the practice of care professionals. It was concluded that the incentive to translational research is essential for professional practice and this should be linked to the pedagogical practice of teachers in initial or continuing education.
