ABSTRACT
Background: work-based learning is the primary organizational form of the educational process in the medical undergraduate program; it aims at contributing to the development of the skills that characterize the professional activities of medical graduates.Objective: to identify factors related to the development of work-based learning of Comprehensive General Medicine in the health areas of Cienfuegos.
Methods: an educational research was conducted by means of analytic and synthetic methods. A structured interview with experienced teachers of Comprehensive General Medicine was performed during the 2011-2012 academic year. Academic and research ranks, planning of work-based learning and number of courses received at the doctor’s offices were analyzed.
Results: Sixty four point eight percent of teachers had no academic rank, all those categorized were instructors. Sixty five percent had a master's degree. Eighty three point three percent of the doctor’s offices were used for teaching the Comprehensive General Medicine course to sixth-year students, followed by fifth- and first-year students. Over 55 % of the teachers received seven courses or more in their offices and only 18, 5 % received one to three.
Conclusions: Among the main factors related to work-based learning of Comprehensive General Medicine in Cienfuegos during the 2011-2012 academic year were poor teaching and research training of teachers, inadequate planning of such activity and receiving many courses in the same office.
