A descriptive study was carried out, the universe was 33 doctors (residents and specialists) distributed in the 18 health areas of the Polyclinic No.2 of Manzanillo. The information was obtained from a survey that made it possible to determine the level of specific competence for the prevention of attempt and / or suicide, a guide to evaluate professional performance and a focused interview seeking methodological triangulation. Most of the doctors obtain an inadequate competence 81.8%, the reason expresses that for every 6 doctors evaluated with an inadequate competence there is only 1 with an adequate competence, 75.8% were evaluated with an inadequate professional performance, the reason expresses that for each 5 doctors evaluated with an inadequate performance there is only 1 with an adequate performance. With the application of the validated instruments, insufficient knowledge was found in family physicians for the management of this damage to health at the community level, which limits their performance in healthcare practice and denotes the need for postgraduate improvement to resolve the deficiencies detected.
