The risk map of admitted students to a health sciences school at a private university in Argentina: preliminary results

Abstract

This paper describes the design, implementation, and preliminary results of the risk mapping of students admitted to a health sciences school in a private university in Argentina, introduced in 2021. Risk refers to difficulties related to personal, academic, vocational, and economic aspects of the students that would anticipate dropouts and some specific interventions. The construction of the risk map arises from considering the prior experience accumulated in this biomedical school and the literature review on this topic. Preliminary results show the usefulness of the instrument for the recording of significant information to be admitted and the implementation
of associated strategies. In addition, it describes some inter-career differences that we will study.
It is an institutional challenge to reconcile management practices with the characteristics and context of the students admitted to provide practical assistance and opportunities so that their experience through the university is thriving.
