ABSTRACT
Introduction: postgraduate education is one of the main working directions of higher education, and aims to promote the education of university graduates. One of its aspects is the professional self-improvement, which has the diploma course as one of its organizational tasks.Objectives: to evaluate the studies program of the Diploma Course on Laboratory Sciences for health technicians of Clinical Laboratory.
Methods: A qualitative research of educational type was conducted at the postgraduate level in the period from November 2013 to July 2015, at the School of Health Technology belonging to Carlos J. Finlay University of Medical Sciences of Camagüey. Theoretical methods were used, such as analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction. Among the empirical methods, we used document analysis, the characterization of the current state of the graduates' professional development, the assessment of the design's feasibility, and surveys to diploma course students and faculty members.
Results: the most significant results were that, in the studies program of the academic years 2003-2004 and 2004-2005, syllabuses for the subjects of basic biomedical sciences were not designed. The characterization of the current state of the graduates' professional development permitted to project the profesional improvements. The clinical laboratory workers feel themselves satisfied with the activity they performed, while the experienced professors surveyed evaluated the diploma course's features within the categories of very appropriate and appropriate.
Conclusions: The different instruments used for the assessment of the diploma course show that it design is appropriate. We identified that the modules of Basic Biomedical Sciences and Management of Quality and Clinical Biochemistry should be changed in order to improve their programs' design for further editions.
