Introduction:

the critical analysis of the program contributes to the improvement of the curriculum; it also has an added value by providing a diagnostic tool to the teacher on the development of the teaching-learning process.

Objective:

to analyze the program of the Human Ontogeny and Osteomyoarticular System that is taught in the first semester of the first year of the Medicine degree to strengthen the quality of the teaching-learning process.

Methods:

a systematic bibliographic review was carried out to develop a critical analysis of the content of documents, where doctoral and master's degrees theses, resolutions, as well as original and review articles published from 2009 to 2019 in English and Spanish were considered. The search was carried out in the SciELO and Google Scholar databases in November 2019, the keywords used were: programs, subject, discipline, and teaching-learning process.

Development:

the analysis of the program of the Human Ontogeny and Osteomyoarticular System expressed how to approach the contents in a way that clearly determines the generalizing ability and the form of evaluation, and it proposes educational objectives and teaching methods that develop creative thinking to the achievement of an increasingly independent and participatory student.

Conclusions:

the critical analysis of the program identified the vulnerable areas to which the main actions should be directed; it also aimed at increasing the quality of the teaching process, which allowed feedback on the development of the teaching-learning process in the subject.
