Our medical and teaching practice lacks specific methodological instructions that materialize in an evaluative instrument of communication skills, of formative value fundamentally, to assume the evaluative criteria by tendencies. Objective: to develop a methodological guideline for evaluating the development of communication skills under direct observation. Methods: surveys administered to 13 internal medicine professors, who worked at "Carlos J. Finlay" central military hospital, with a view to finding out their opinions on an evaluative methodological guideline for communication skills. Results: the suggested changes were made in terms of elements of expressive skills and the idea of evaluation by tendencies was accepted Conclusions: the submitted methodological guideline has more validity in contents since it covers new aspects that better reflect the cognitive and behavioral construct of physician in the course of interviews to patients. The functional validity of the guideline is greater as it succeeds in attaining better order of expressive skills, more clarification in the enunciation of skills and better implementation of the evaluation by tendency approach.

Palabras clave : communication skills; evaluation by tendencies; medical interview; clinical method.
