| Abstract (English): |
Primary health care (PHC) is an intersectoral strategy for the development of people's health. It includes the organization of medical and health care systems and social development actions on the determinants of health, under the principles of law, equity, social justice, respect for cultural diversity, health promotion, coverage and universal access to all preventive and curative services, use of appropriate technologies and promotion of social and community participation. The MAS-Bienestar health care model in Mexico considers PHC as the foundation of the sustainability of the public health system. It requires a determined policy of strategic training of human resources for health, oriented towards PHC. Key experiences in the training of physicians in PHC are reviewed, presenting the case of the Universidad de la Salud (Unisa, in Spanish) and the curricular proposal of the degree in General and Community Medicine, as clues to reorient training in general medicine. The greatest challenge for the training of health professionals with a PHC approach is to exercise joint leadership of the education and health sectors, to create a national system of strategic training of health personnel, guaranteeing their insertion into the public system.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
La atención primaria de salud (APS) es una estrategia intersectorial para el desarrollo de la salud de las personas. Comprende la organización de los sistemas de atención médico-sanitarios y acciones de desarrollo social sobre los determinantes de la salud, bajo principios de derecho, equidad, justicia social, respeto a la diversidad cultural, promoción de la salud, cobertura y acceso universal a todos los servicios preventivos y curativos, además, el uso de tecnologías apropiadas e impulso a la participación social y comunitaria. Por ende, el modelo de atención a la salud MAS-Bienestar en México considera la APS como fundamento de la sostenibilidad del sistema público de salud. Requiere una decidida política de formación estratégica de recursos humanos para la salud, orientados hacia la APS. Por esta razón, se revisan experiencias clave en formación de médicos en APS, presentándose el caso de la Universidad de la Salud (Unisa) y la propuesta curricular de la Licenciatura en Medicina General y Comunitaria, como pistas para reorientar la formación en medicina general. El mayor desafío para la formación de profesionales de la salud con enfoque de APS es ejercer la dirección conjunta entre el sector educativo y de salud, para crear un sistema nacional de formación estratégica del personal sanitario, a partir del cual éste garantiza su inserción en el sistema público.
