Curricular integration in Kinesiology and Physiatry careers in Argentina

Abstract

This is a descriptive, qualitative study of documentary analysis. It seeks to describe the curricular integration present in the grills of the Kinesiology and Physiatry careers in Argentina, two categories are defined, the presence of
clinical subjects in the first two years and the presence of integrated courses. The results show that the greatest integration is given by the presence of clinical subjects in the first two years and to a lesser extent by the presence of integrated courses. The majority of the subjects present some clinical skill in their name, and very few show integration in the same subject of more than one skill as
clinical practice demands. We found that there are subjects that contain the word integration or more than two disciplines in their name, but it is not possible to see
how they are integrated. Only in one subject are the boundaries between disciplines blurred and a few subjects are organized around a health problem. In turn, in future research it will be necessary to investigate other levels of curricular specification that account for the concretion of integration.
