Introduction: to graduate a properly trained health-care professional in English Language, the teaching-learning process should be aimed at meeting the current requirements; thus professors of the health care system should have an adequate preparation in order to reach these aspirations, which is a key element. Objective: to develop a teaching strategy for the development of writing skills in the subject of general English Language for medical first-academic-year students at Dr. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna School of Medical Sciences, Pinar del Río province. Material and Methods: the methods used in this research were: materialist-dialectic with other theoretical procedures such as: analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, historical- logical, and the analysis synthesis along with structural-systemic levels; from the empirical level the following methods were followed: documentary analysis, surveys, and pedagogical test plus the observation of lectures, as well as statistical and mathematical ones. Results: the difficulties were related to the preparation that professors have to develop this skill in combination with the balance of class schedules; as a result a didactic strategy was developed to take actions to address the identified deficiencies. Conclusions: the results revealed the deficiencies to develop and master this skill. The teaching strategy was conceived in stages: training, restructuring and implementation.
