Resumen
CEDENO FERRIN, Julio y MACHADO RAMIREZ, Evelio Felipe. The role of the university extension in the local transformation and the social development. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.3, pp. 371-390. ISSN 1727-8120.
University extension is one of the ways through which the university shows being a very important cultural center for guaranteeing the development. In the following article its relevance and impact in the society is assessed; as well as the definition of the concepts of extension and the models that nowadays are very deep-rooted in the life of the high education institutions. These models respond to the different ideological positions and conceptions related to the relationship that must exist between the university, the society, and the sectors involved. Three concepts directly related to theme of the work are analysed in a determining way: culture, pertinence, and sustainable development.
