Resumen
Objetivo: Evaluar el nivel de conocimiento del público lego y académicos de Odontología, Medicina, Fisioterapia y Enfermería de la Universidad Federal de Amazonas sobre la actuación del cirujano oral y maxilofacial. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio epidemiológico observacional, transversal, con enfoque cuantitativo, mediante el uso de cuestionarios autoadministrados, tanto presenciales como online, elaborados por los propios investigadores. Luego de recolectar y tabular los cuestionarios en una base de datos, se aplicaron métodos de análisis descriptivo, con cálculo de frecuencias y medidas de posición y variabilidad para verificar la diferencia entre proporciones. Resultados: El público lego y los estudiantes de Enfermería se clasificaron con nivel de conocimiento bajo sobre la especialidad, los estudiantes de Fisioterapia y Odontología con conocimiento regular y los estudiantes de Medicina con nivel de conocimiento bueno. Conclusión: Existe la necesidad de una mayor difusión sobre la especialidad al público lego y en especial al público académico, quienes en el futuro ejercerán la profesión y tendrán un papel activo en la derivación de pacientes entre colegas del área de la salud.
