In striving for excellence in all health services, the systematic and generalized use of the clinical method is beyond any doubt a key factor. There are deficiencies in teaching the contents of the 3^rd year medical curricula. The objective of the present paper was to put emphasis on the particular didactics that guarantee the formation and lay the bases for the further development of the working methods of the medical profession; they are also aimed at making the student attain the required abilities to correctly follow the clinical method and this is specifically taught in Semiology and Clinical Propaedeutics. Each educational task has the defined goal that the student should meet and the ability that he should acquire. The professors must master the curricula of their subject, which includes knowing well the objectives, the contents and the methodological and didactic guidelines to teach it.

Palabras clave : Medical Semiology; Clinical Propaedeutics; clinical method; methodology; didactics; medical education.
