DIAZ QUINONES, José Aurelio  and  VALDES GOMEZ, María Lina. COVID 19 pandemic and its implications in the conception, design and didactic implementation of Cuban higher medical education. Medisur [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.3, pp. 496-506.  Epub June 02, 2020. ISSN 1727-897X.

Due to its emerging process status, the current COVID 19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV2 virus presents a series of clinical, evolutionary and epidemiological characteristics which allow it to be classified as a complex phenomenon. Obviously, this pandemic constitutes a challenge for medical sciences in assistance, research and medical education aspects. Preliminary conclusions derived from the critical and inferential reading of this pandemic require interpretations that derive in conceptions, curricular designs, teaching processes, methodological work, evaluations and scientific activity that contain those essentialities that the authors classify as essential and mandatory categories that must cover the different referred processes of Cuban higher medical education, the intended objective of this work. Through the use of different theoretical and empirical methods, a systematization is developed which summarizes and makes explicit the categories of complex problems, inter-transdisciplinarity, systems theory, multimorbidity, multireference, scientific activity from the university, information and communication technologies, and its necessary approaches in the conception, design and didactic instrumentation of Cuban higher medical education, of interest for the improvement of these processes.

Keywords : education; medical education; higher; systems analysis; coronavirus infections; morbility.
