ABSTRACT
A descriptive study was conducted in "Enrique Cabrera" medical school in the field of higher medical education from September 2012 to July 2013. The objective was to identify the level of knowledge of the traditional and natural herb medicine professors in the Integral General Medicine specialty. The universe of study was made up of 60 professors from the teaching department of integral general medicine discipline. A documentary analysis was made in the 5th year faculty meeting minutes, methodological meeting minutes, the methodological work planning and curricula of the medical subjects in the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 academic years. The professors answered a structured questionnaire with twoended closed questions. The results of the questionnaire were evaluated according to the level of knowledge shown and then grouped into two dimensions: adequate and inadequate. It was concluded that the level of knowledge of the traditional and natural herb medicine professors participating in the study was inadequate, being the most difficult areas those related with the use of acupuncture in treating central nervous system diseases and some gynecological diseases.REFERENCES
