NOVEL INTRODUCTION: With the presence of COVID-19 in all human activities, the medical world has faced a radical change in the way that medical practice develops all around the world. A necessary cog in the physician's life is the teaching-learning process that is lived daily in the clinical setting during medical residencies. The new reality that is being contemplated warrants a new way of thinking, acting, teaching, and learning. OBJECTIVE: To identify challenges and opportunities for the physician's formation in medical residencies ever since the onset of the pandemic. AUTHOR'S POSITIONING: One of the essential tools that a human being must have to survive any given crisis is his/her capability to adapt and modify conducts in order to better respond to uncertainty. The system under which physicians with specialties have developed throughout the years was sufficient for that specific reality under which it was first conceived; however, as time went by and with the current emergency, this is no longer efficient nor sufficient. Therefore, it's necessary to analyze the education model and reevaluate the competences required to instruct in a specialist. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical formation, particularly, represents a new opportunity to design, plan and implement the education process with a social responsibility sense and innovation through a new and different approach. In this new proposal, both education and health institutions work collaboratively in the generation of excellent medical specialists, not only in the cognitive aspect, but also, in the human aspect.

Financial education involves a process that provides tools needed to un- Keywords: derstand and to interpret the economic world. In this paper, we analyze the determinants of financial education on children in basic education. Using chi square statistical independence tests, we analyze the results of a survey applied to the sixth grade primary school students in 5 public schools in the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Our empirical evidence identifies the family as the main influence in the children financial literacy. Saving, bank's utility and purchasing decisions are keys concepts used by children as a part of the family language. There are significant relations among the living financial experience of children in daily family practices, their willingness to learn, and the creation of financial conscience in order to generate financial competences for the everyday life. According to these results, implementing formal financial education in the school, by a financial teaching-learning process, may promote the understanding of the economic world.

The role of Higher Education in developing scientific research at Ecuadorean Universities is presented in this paper, before and after the implementation of the education model established since 2008, which perceives these institutions as agents that generate social, cultural and environmental change with a vision of complex and integrating thought. It was found, through an exploratory and descriptive investigation, that the academic system in Ecuador over years had a teaching approach, different to the one used today. The successes achieved are presented mainly in scientific production at universities and in their staff's academic level. The need to implement strategies for eliminating the existing weaknesses in order to achieve international recognition is also stressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper offers an education proposal design for corporate training from a perspective of a corporate university and business. The analysis was focused upon the Continuous Education Center of a corporate university where virtual training and education programs have been developed. The sample is composed by four groups: 1) students of executive programs; 2) teachers of training programs; 3) staff division of training and human resources; and 4) the staff group of permanent virtual education. Our research hypothesis points out that corporate training designed and based only on needs and goals of a single group are not as effective as those ones to consider all the involved groups. Then a mixed approach was used for analysis to discover a way to design a corporate training model according to the expectations, goals and focus of all the players. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
