THE ROLE OF GROUP ADVISERS IN THE TRAININ G OF HUMAN-RESOURCES FOR PUBLIC-HEALTH

Within the educational system, the method of group tutor was developed as a teaching strategy: the tutor goes along with a group of students to field training and works with them on the systematization and anal ysis of the study to obtain the final report. The purpose of this pape r is to recuperate the work experience of the Department of Didactics of the School of Public Health of Mexico during 1991. A relevant concl usion is that this form of work needs to be studied and developed, sin ce it demands a greater amount of independence from the students and r equires a different participation from the teacher, both as coordinato r and advisor.
