Educational competencies oriented to forensic sciences. Fundamental aspects in educational programs

All universities in the world are rapidly adapting their educational programs to Competence-Based Education (CBE) oriented schemes, since they have understood that teaching cannot be based on the sole instruction of knowledge oriented to a specific subject, but it is also necessary to develop in the participants aspects related to Knowing How to Do, Knowing How to Be, Wanting to Do and Being Able to Do and in this way be able to give students the necessary techniques to relate to their environment in an integral way. These significant changes in the educational processes and that touch all areas of medicine, must be implemented and adapted to the new educational paradigms, so it is important to establish the relationship and the strategies that must be used for their teaching, of each of these with Forensic Sciences, which is the fundamental objective of this work. The work was based on the theories of positivism, following a qualitative approach and based on the parameters established by an evaluative documentary type research. The research establishes what type of factors, capacities, potentialities, abilities and skills should be developed according to each competency in the programs oriented to Forensic Sciences, with which the teaching of each of these can be guaranteed. Finally, the basic recommendations that a program oriented under the concept of EBC in Forensic Sciences should have are indicated.
