CHAVEZ ALVAREZ, Elena. Assessment of the curricular design. Module: Comprehensive care for the child and adolescent of professionalizing internship. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.2, pp. 229-238. ISSN 1561-3194.

A critical evaluation of the program concerning the module "Comprehensive Care for the child and the adolescent", which is taught in the sixth year of Medicine, since the Primary Health Care (PHC), professionalizing internship, was done, taking into account that in these days in middle-high education a curricular design is an object of reevaluation. By making a critical analysis of the program, we could point out, among the most relevant subjects, that the topical units do not consider the problem whose solution has to be found, so it does not make it possible for the students to develop skills, existing topical units whose objective lacks a developing and educating function. As for the contents, we think it's appropiate reconsider topics such as the infection of the urine tract and nutritional anemia, because of their incidence and relevance. Among the forms of teaching organization (FOE), we should go deeper into describing medical shifts and reevaluating the scenario of their performances. The system of evaluation does not have the instructions of the current pedagogical trends.
