SANTOS MARTINEZ, Rolando et al. Methodological work: a claim to achieve interdisciplinarity through the year teaching staff of the medicine career. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2017, vol.9, n.1, pp. 175-189. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: methodological work with interdisciplinary approach is a strength for a comprehensive collective work through the year teaching staff of the medical career. Objective: to identify the needs to undertake methodological work that supports interdisciplinary work through the first year teaching staff of the medical career at Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences. Methods: a descriptive study was carried out within the qualitative approach, for three years (2013-2015). Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction, and empirical ones documentary analysis for the determination of the theoretical core content and possibilities of interaction and group work to obtain homogeneous information on the issues discussed. Results: the needs to achieve interdisciplinarity through the methodological work were defined, either in its project dimension or in the process one of the first year teaching staff of the medical career. In the documents there is no evidence about how to achieve disciplinary and interdisciplinary integration; it's neither specified how subjects should be integrated among them and between cycles, nor methodologically orientations about how to achieve it. Group discussion confirmed these limitations. Conclusions: the identification of these needs is a diagnostic, steady and gradual assessment to achieve the desired effectiveness through the planning and implementation of a methodological work that tribute to interdisciplinarity; it is a challenge to face in a relevant educational process to contribute to the comprehensive formation of the general practitioner since the first year of the career.
