ABSTRACT
Background: The theoretical examinations conducted in medicine undergraduate studies often include the use of essay questions, and to a lesser extent, of those used in the state theoretical assessment instrument, requiring the student's previous training, which is still insufficient. Methods: A study was conducted at the Medical University of Villa Clara, from January to June 2012, in order to design a system of interactive exercises for the selfassessment of the contents in the subject Comprehensive General Medicine, in sixth year. Results: The methodology used allowed the understanding of the problem studied; thus, exercises were devised with the program Hot Potatoes, version 5, through the design of different questions taking into account the objectives of the subject. The material has 29 exercises. Conclusions: With the system of exercises, the students can build their learning through their effort and active involvement in the process, training themselves in the different types of questions used in the state theoretical assessment instrument.REFERENCES
