ABSTRACT

Mexico´s population health profile has dramatically changed in the last fi fty years. Health care professionals will be challenged in the near future to adequate their professional profi les. The advances in sciences and technology together with the evolution of the educational paradigm must be taken into account in order to transform the health professional profi le. Both areas are two key components in the foundation of an integrated curriculum based on our experience through the Graduate Program in Genomic Medicine at the Physiology Department of the Health Sciences Center, University of Guadalajara. We propose a new paradigm in health, initiating with a new curriculum design. Three major strategies towards the effective training of future researchers and health professionals in genomic medicine were carried out: 1) development of an integrated curriculum based on the molecular biology of the human genome and its environmental interaction; 2) teaching genomic medicine to health science undergraduate students and 3) performing basic, clinical and social research to study the health and disease process of major public health problems in our country.
