Abstract

The new paradigm of the health-disease process includes interdisciplinary activities for promotion, prevention and diagnosis. Traditionally in Colombia, a bacteriologistsí education and professional work have
been focused on clinical assistance and not towards social change based on their knowledge and work.
Objective: to describe some of the experiences of bacteriologistsí and clinical laboratory techniciansí graduated in the University of Antioquia who are involved in health promotion and illness prevention activities. Mehodology: a semi-structured interview was carried out with bacteriologists who have been working in the related areas.The results were put in categories and contrasted through focus groups. Some categories were established: 1) notions on promotion and prevention: bacteriologists conceive promotion and prevention as a community empowering, educational exercise, risk factor control, and health marketing, as well as interrelated concepts with almost no boundaries; 2) competences: bacteriologists point out that they require pedagogical, communicative, project leadership and group-work skills, as well as knowledge about public policies, marketing, costing and auditing; 3) methodological strategies: Education and
interdisciplinary work are perceived to be the most commonly used strategies with communication being a central axis for these two processes; 4) interdisciplinarity : interdisciplinary group work is required to plan and structure promotion and prevention programs, as well as orienting and eliciting self-determination in the community. Results: information that can contribute to the reflection about the bacteriologistsí social meaning is gathered, providing significant elements for the curricula desing of the educational programs in this area.
