Introduction:
The National Center for Health Technology Excellence (CENETEC) has published 539 clinical practice guidelines (CPG) whose area of influence is nationwide.
Objective:
To conduct an assessment of the knowledge and attitudes of teachers at a medical school and the use of CPGs.
Materials And Methods:
We performed a cross-sectional study in 2012 among teachers at one medical school in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
Results:
Overall, 97.1% of medical school physicians (MDs) reported knowing the existence of CPGs and 94.9% had consulted them. The 87.6% of the MD knew where they could find the guidelines. However, only 15.9% mentioned the CENETEC website as a source, 30.4% The Ministry of Health website, and 7.3% both pages.
Conclusions:
It is necessary to develop programs that facilitate the implementation and adoption of clinical practice guidelines by a multidisciplinary team that specifically establishes the importance of their use.
