A descriptive cross-sectional study of 31 graduates (86,1 %) of a total number of 36 that made up the universe of Ciudad de La Habana in school years 1995-1996 to 1998-1999 was carried out to identify the level of satisfaction of graduates from Primary Health Care master´s course with the competencies they acquired in the fields of teaching, reasearch and service. For the development of this research study, a questionnaire was drawn up and administered to allow the students to express their opinions on their degree of satisfaction. It was demonstrated that graduates felt they have acquired the necessary professional scientific-technical preparation for implementing primary health care; they are generally satisfied with the knowledge acquired at the different areas related to their profile as Master in the basic cycle ( from 90,3 % to 96,8 %), however, in the specific cycle, they considered there were some difficulties in the contents of "Management process in primary health care" module.
