SANCHEZ HERNANDEZ, Ernesto; VELAZQUEZ PUPO, Alejandro; MEDINA PAVON, Marianela  and  DUCONGER DANGER, Marilaycis. Work education and learning activities in military general medicine. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2015, vol.44, n.2, pp.237-244. ISSN 0138-6557.

Education at work is a training resource that includes activities for the acquisition of skills and work habits in residents. This contributes to the effective resolution of various health problems in the community. Our objective is to characterize the activities including education at work from the perspective of medical services at the armed forces in their own scenarios. A review was performed, in which theoretical analysis-synthesis, induction, deduction and logical historical methods were used when reviewing various literature sources on the subject under investigation. Education at work is described as an educational principle in the specialization of general military medicine, as well as their teaching, researching, educational and administrative activities allowing the resident development in solving health problems that occur in the individual, family and community. The educational activities included in this training resource promote the acquisition of important skills during the period of specialization, but they require an appropriate structure, process organization, analysis health, and tutors' educational thought in this work method.

Keywords : competency-based education; teaching; learning; general medicine; military medicine; comprehensive medicine.
