Abstract
PEREZ CARDENAS, Clara. Algunos apuntes sobre comunidad. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2000, vol.16, n.4, pp. 360-365. ISSN 1561-3038.
Community is one of the most difficult subjects to be taught among those included in the curriculum of General Comprehensive Medicine residents, since bibliography on this topic is a bit dispersed. This aspect, which is not properly evaluated by residents, is very important for health professionals to do our work of promotion, prevention and treatment not only at the level of the individual, but also at the level of the family and of the community as a whole. Therefore, we need to have some notions about community and community participation to be able to promote them, as the only way to make our health actions more effective
