MOLINA-MARIM, Gloria et al. Talent Management in Public Health; an Analysis of Five Colombian Cities, 2014. Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.30, pp.108-125. ISSN 1657-7027.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.rgyps15-30.gtsp.

Objective: describing the work conditions of the health personnel associated with public health programs. Methodology: we carried out a descriptive cross-section study on a representative sample consisting of 672 people associated with health institutions approved by the Ministry of Health in 2013, which provide public health programs and services. Results: findings suggest most of the personnel associated with public health services and programs had medicine, nursing, and dentistry training; had problematic working conditions - as short-term contracts are prevailing - and the public health training coverage was low. The most common form of adequacy in public health of the people surveyed was associated with approving the knowledge test necessary to become associated with the institution and with the performance assessments. Conclusions: it is possible to see limitations on training and education, as well as deficient working conditions for people who work in public health programs.

Keywords : human resources in health; health policies; public health; public health competencies.
