Objective: Describe the current status of the implementation of the Model of Comprehensive Care in Family and Community Health (MAIS, by its acronym in Spanish) in primary care in Chile.
Methods: Cross-sectional study that evaluated the implementation of MAIS in a total of 1 263 primary care facilities. Through correlations, the relationship between internal self-evaluation and external evaluation of health services for each center was studied.
Background And Objectives: Interprofessional teamwork and collaboration are considered key elements for improving patient outcomes; however, few reports of interprofessional education experiences in primary care directed to students are found in the literature. We describe an educational program in primary care for medical, nursing, and psychology students and report the findings of their perceptions of learning.
Methods: To develop team-working skills and learn family-oriented collaborative care in primary care, the authors designed an interprofessional educational course in Santiago, Chile.
