In my ongoing journey through the biochemistry curriculum at the University of Chile, I can't help but reflect on a few key aspects that could be improved to enhance our learning experience.
Firstly, it strikes me that we should have more exposure to biochemistry laboratory work earlier in our academic career. Currently, we only get to explore the world of a biochemist in a laboratory setting during our third year when internships begin. It would be beneficial to introduce students to the practical side of biochemistry sooner.
Speaking of internships, the system could use some restructuring. While the freedom to choose various types of internships is a plus, a more structured approach could offer a better balance between freedom and guidance.
On the bright side, our faculty and program boast impressive infrastructure. We have access to spacious teaching labs and various research facilities. The overall environment is conducive to learning and discovery.
Technology also plays a crucial role in our curriculum. Our university has been at the forefront in Chile, particularly with cutting-edge instruments like optical tweezers, which are unique in Latin America.
Furthermore, our professors are experts in their respective fields. However, it might be beneficial for them to undergo paid teaching courses to refine their pedagogical skills and enhance the learning experience.
In conclusion, while our program has its strengths, some adjustments, like early exposure to laboratories and refining the internship system, could make it even more beneficial for biochemistry students at the University of Chile.
