To this end, Holguín province intended to give a boost to the process of Ph.D. formation in the health sciences field, in order to increase the level of academic excellence at the provincial medical science university, as part of its insertion in the international arena, and additionally, as a response to the request of the health professionals in that province. The strategy and its design, based on a flexible formation process adapted to the present standards of the National Commission of Scientific Degrees in Cuba for obtaining Ph.D. in a given specialty, was presented.
