Introduction:

Establishing interdisciplinary relationships between Pharmacology and the clinical subjects of the Main Integrative Discipline (MID) in the Stomatology major requires a systematic and coherent methodological work between teaching groups and the permanent updating of the teachers.

Objective:

To assess the state of interdisciplinary relationships between Pharmacology and the clinical subjects of MID in the Stomatology major.

Method:

An observational, descriptive, cKross-sectional study was carried out between November and December 2020, at the Facultad de Estomatología, Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Santiago de Cuba. By simple random probability sampling, a sample of 34 professors of the clinical subjects of the MID was selected. The variables analyzed were: state of interdisciplinary relations with Pharmacology, category and teaching opinion. A questionnaire consisting of nineteen questions was applied and the percentage was used as a summary measure.

Results:

The state of interdisciplinary relations with Pharmacology in the didactic and academic dimensions obtained a score of 1.9, and in the methodological and investigative dimensions it obtained scores of 1.5 and 1.1, respectively. The expected proportion of unfavorable teacher opinion was 50.0%.

Conclusions:

The state of interdisciplinary relationships established by the clinical subjects of MID with Pharmacology, in general, is not adequate, especially in the methodological and investigative dimensions; which points to the need of designing a strategy to promote such relationships in order to achieve a more comprehensive training in students.
