A sample of 100 professors was surveyed , they were assigned to two groups with 50 individuals each group. Group A belonged to "Ernesto Che Guevara de la Serna" Medical School and Group B to the municipal medical venue . Data were presented in absolute and relative tables using the chi square test demonstrating that the community action projects were implemented with the majors as well as the extracurricular activities were considered properly by the professors. Students and professors were the main actors in these extracurricular activities receiving the municipal university venues more help from the directors of MINSAP as well as a more extensive vision on the community necessity, so the quality in the extracurricular activity was higher in the municipal university venues than in the central venue
