ABSTRACT

Introduction: the Extracurricular Program of Tutelary Care for Medical Students created by Cuban professors in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of “Katyavala Bwila” includes a tutorial strategy that guarantees the formation of suitable monitors to enter as teachers at the end of the degree.
Objective: to evaluate the results of the tutorial strategy in the four-year period 2012-2015.
Method: qualitative research. Documentary analysis, non-participant observation and satisfaction surveys were used.
Results: from the beginning of the application of the strategy up to the moment, fourth editions have been carried out with a total of 70 monitors which were distributed in 22 subjects and the largest number of monitors corresponded to the subjects of: Medical Genetic, Anatomy, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pathologic Anatomy, Embryologic and Histology. All the monitors received an evaluation between good and excellent according to the criterion of tutors, cloister and of the Federation of Students.
Conclusions: the experience obtained in the four editions of the implementation of the tutorial strategy for the training of monitors and the results of the satisfaction surveys of the monitors allow to consider this as a feasible and useful way for the formation of human resources in the FMUKB. This will allow it in the future to have its own human resources that give continuity to the work that Cuban professors develop in the Republic of Angola. The incorporation of the accompaniment by the monitors to the students with low academic performance was beneficial for both.
