Introduction:

the interaction between the disciplines that make up the curriculum of the medical studies constitutes a need at present for the teaching-learning process, hence the current level of interdisciplinary relations as a methodological support in the solution of professional problems.

Objective:

to characterize the state of the process of interdisciplinary relations between Cuban History and the rest of the disciplines in the second academic year of the medical studies.

Methods:

theoretical (modeling, analysis-synthesis and documentary analysis), empirical methods (documentary review, interviews and surveys) and descriptive statistics for the processing of the data collected, all from the dialectical materialist approach. A target group of 465 students and a sample of 237 students were chosen through simple random sampling.

Results:

difficulties were verified in the methodological work within the academic year group, which are manifested in the inadequacies shown by the process of interdisciplinary relations in the second academic year of Medicine major.

Conclusions:

the lack of a strategy for the process under study limits its projection in the methodological work carried out by the pedagogical collectives of the medical studies, the study is novel by empirically confirming that the articulating element of these interdisciplinary relations are the development of skills, the methodological work of the pedagogical collectives and the role of the main integrating discipline.
