Abstract

A developing research with a qualitative approach was conducted in the Arnaldo Milian Castro Provincial University Hospital of Villa Clara during the period from September 2008 to July 2010 with the purpose of designing methodological alternatives to improve the acquisition of skills in the Internal Medicine residents of the hospital. The methodological design was structured in three stages: a diagnosis, a design of methodological alternatives and the assessment of the devised product by specialists. The main difficulties found in the process of acquiring skills were: an inadequate implementation of the clinical method, difficulties in reading the electrocardiogram, poor technical skills, difficulties in diagnostic and therapeutic skills, and low rigor in the evaluation of the resident. Methodological alternatives were developed based on the results reached, and were rated as adequate by selected specialists.
