Certificación de competencias en organización de la industria médica de Mexicali, B.C., México

Organizations turn to private certifying institutions instead of public certifying agencies. The CONOCER Survey was applied to 304 organizations, out of which 43% do not implement Competency Certification Programs: 36% are unaware of the benefits, 31% are unaware of the institutions and procedures, 26% have a lack of budget and 7% have high turnover. More communication and promotion of government programs are needed [7]. The Chile Valora Program [5,6] confirmed a need of knowledge and trust in the competency certification program. The OECD [18] sustains that in Mexico, a collaboration between the government and the productive sector must be promoted. A public financing program should be developed since only .01% of GDP, among the lowest in the OECD, to activate labor competencies. The methodology applied is the fixed mixed method and parallel convergent typology. A concurrent design for the collection and analysis is necessary.
