Management and Teaching in Health Science

Introduction: They approached the concept of management as the exercise of responsibility for a set of activities, highlighting its importance in health and educational settings. They considered that, in both health centres and educational institutions, appropriate management ensured the effective coordination of resources, structures and people in order to meet the needs of the population. They also addressed teaching, understood as an activity structured around the transmission of knowledge and mediated by the active role of the teacher. Development: They analysed management from multiple perspectives, including its relationship with IT through content and database management systems. These enabled users to edit and manage content dynamically, improving efficiency. In health care, they emphasised that poor management negatively impacted on the work environment and quality of service. They also examined teaching from a traditional and a more innovative point of view. They highlighted the importance of objectives as the central axis of didactics, applied in the training of professionals, particularly in stomatology. They also noted the increasing feminisation of the education sector and the evolution towards methodologies supported by digital tools, such as teaching 2.0. Conclusion: They concluded that management and teaching were essential and interrelated processes for professional and social development. They emphasised that proper planning and the establishment of clear objectives improved the educational process and healthcare, promoting higher quality and satisfaction in both sectors.
