Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la importancia que tienen los programas formativos de posgrado en el área de la salud para la satisfacción de la demanda de servicios de salud en Colombia. Se comparan la oferta de programas de posgrado en salud y la demanda de servicios de salud entre dos regiones (Región Caribe y Bogotá D.C) con características demográficas, económicas y geográficas disimiles. La metodología es descriptiva y se utiliza el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. Los resultados muestran disparidad entre el número de programas de posgrado en salud y las demandas de este servicio entre ambas regiones. Se observa un déficit en la oferta de programas de posgrado en la Región Caribe, la cual presenta una gran demanda de servicio de salud con índices de pobreza elevados. Se concluye que el costo de la matrícula es una variable fundamental que influencia el acceso a programas de posgrado en el área de la salud. The main objective of this study is to assess the importance of health postgraduate programs to meet the demand of health services in Colombia. A comparison is performed between two Colombian regions (Caribbean and Bogotá D.C.) that are dissimilar in their demographic, economic, and geographic characteristics. The methodology is descriptive and the Pearson’s correlation coefficient is used. The results show a disparity between both regions in the number of postgraduate health programs available and the demand for health services. There is a deficit of postgraduate health programs in the Caribbean Region when compared to the demand for health services in this region, which also has a high poverty index. It is concluded that the cost of tuition fees for postgraduate health programs is a key factor affecting access to these programs.
