Resumen

LLIMOS, Mireia et al. Characteristics and contents of the master's programs in public health in Spain. Gac Sanit [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.2, pp.127-138.  Epub 19-Sep-2022. ISSN 0213-9111.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2020.03.006.

Objective

To compare the main academic characteristics and contents of the different master's programs in public health currently offered in Spain.

Method

A systematic search has been carried out in the Register of Universities, Centers and Degrees of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports. The main academic characteristics and the contents (mandatory and optional) of the programs of 11 official master's degrees with the renewed accreditation in 2018 were analyzed based on the data published on the universities' web pages.

Results

Most programs are 60 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), face-to-face, taught in Spanish, include in their curriculum the completion of a master's thesis but not professional practices. Only contents related to statistics and basic epidemiology, and the training activity of master's thesis, are offers by all programs.

Conclusions

The majority of public health master's programs in Spain shows a certain homogeneity regarding their academic characteristics, but a great heterogeneity in relation to their contents. There is also a great heterogeneity in the credits granted to the different subjects, especially optional subjects. It would be advisable to standardize a common core, especially in the mandatory contents.
