VELIZ MARTINEZ, Pedro Luis  e  JORNA CALIXTO, Ana Rosa. Historical development and future prospects of the intensive and emergency medicine as specialty in Cuba. Educ Med Super [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.3, pp. 592-602. ISSN 1561-2902.

Medical specialties are the necessary continuation of the professional performance but with more specialized characteristics, as an expression of permanent upgrading responding to the demands of the society. This paper presented the historical development and the social context of the intensive and emergency medicine specialty in Cuba; it conceptualized the intensive medicine as a worldwide specialty and defined the Cuban health care model related to it. The macrocurriculum was analyzed; the criteria of experts and key informants as well as the authors' experiences were stated. It was concluded that after 15 years of the emergence of this specialty in Cuba, the curriculum needs to be refreshed and updated in the light of the current scientific knowledge, the technological development, the trends in the specialty, the socioeconomic conditions of the country and the occupational profile of the Cuban intensive medicine specialist.

Palavras-chave : intensive care; emergencies; medical specialties; curriculum; continuous medical education.
