ABSTRACT
Background: the Cuban medical brigade has had a considerable influence over the historical development of Timor Leste, and specifically over its School of Medicine.Objective: to characterize the different historical moments of the School of Medicine in Timor Leste, from its foundation to its current graduations.
Methods: A descriptive study was done on the training of doctors in Timor Leste, using theoretical and empirical methods; theoretical: analytic-synthetic, historical-logical and induction-deduction, which allowed the analysis of the documents and bibliography that were revised. The empirical methods used were the revision of the yearly academic reports, and the participatory observation done by the authors, as well as the interviews had with members of the medical brigade, teachers who have been to the country, and national leaders committed to this training process.
Results: a characterization was made through a logical sequence of the work done by the Cuban medical collaboration in Timor Leste, since its beginning in the training of doctors, and also their postgraduate training.
Conclusions: the application of social policies, specifically the educational ones, have allowed in Timor Leste the development and strengthening of the medical training, by creating the academic and functional structures that guarantee their continuity. The academic results of promotion and retention analyzed during the time of the study have been acceptable.
