<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Migrants experience different circumstances that define sexual behavior, increasing their vulnerability to acquiring STIs and HIV. For the prevention of STIs, including HIV, adopting condom use as a protective practice is essential, according to the National Health and Nutrition Survey. The objective of this study is to describe the relationship between condom knowledge and self-efficacy in condom use with the stages of change for condom use in migrants in transit. <strong>Method: </strong>The design is correlational and cross-sectional in a sample of migrant men and women in transit in the city of Tijuana, Baja California. Data were processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25. Descriptives were determined using means ± standard deviation (SD) and frequencies. Spearman's correlation coefficient (Spearman's Rho) was used with a 95% error margin, p&lt;0.05.<strong> Results: </strong>In the stages of change for condom use, 31.1% were in precontemplation, meaning they had no intention of using condoms in their vaginal, oral, and/or anal sexual relations within the next six months. On the other hand, 26.6% were in preparation, indicating they intended to always use condoms during vaginal, anal, or oral sex within the next thirty days. 19.8% of the migrants had been using condoms for more than six months in every sexual encounter, classifying them in the maintenance stage for condom use. Migrants in the initial stages like precontemplation and contemplation had lower scores than those in the maintenance stage. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Knowledge of condoms and self-efficacy in condom use have a significant positive relationship with the stages of change for condom use. It is suggested to replicate the study with a larger sample and incorporate variables such as motivation, decisional balance, and processes of change, as well as others indicated by the literature as important in condom use behavior among migrants in transit.</p>

<p>This scientific research was conducted based on an analysis of the literature encompassing pedagogical practice from the perspective of medical teacher training. Reliable information on works in this field was considered for the research, utilizing bibliographic data, electronic consultations, scientific articles, and journals. The results obtained highlight the importance of strengthening the educational efforts in medical sciences through educational practices that guide educators with clear elements, aiming to address the current societal needs in medical education. The concept of pedagogical practice is developed according to established axes. Additionally, differences and similarities between various approaches are identified. Furthermore, a planning approach is presented to clarify the concept of pedagogical practice from the perspective of the medical teacher. In conclusion, it is presented that pedagogical practice in the field of medical education possesses distinctive elements that characterize it and make it applicable in various scenarios within this field.</p>
