ABSTRACT
The pertinence of the medical formation can be considered as the adjustment of the contents from the curricula to the social necessities of health. Cuba occupies the second place among the countries with a more aged population in Latin America and in 10 years ahead one of each four Cubans will be an elderly people. The study plan of the Medicine career projects in an insufficient way the management of elderly people, even when it includes elderly homes as educational scenarios for the teaching of the comprehensive General Medicine and some other disciplines of the clinical cycle only a minimum percent of students have rotations by these institutions. The current article presents the analysis carried out about the contents related to this topic that General Practitioners receive during the career and in what subjects they are imparted, what will serve as base for later proposals of actions.REFERENCES
