SALAS PEREA, Ramón Syr; DIAZ HERNANDEZ, Lázaro  and  PEREZ HOZ, Grisel. The competence-based curriculum in the formation of medical specialists. Educ Med Super [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.3, pp.262-274. ISSN 0864-2141.

The competence-based formation is an open and flexible process for the development of work competences in which, from its identification and standardization, curriculum designs are established which makes it possible to guarantee a more effective work performance. It is sustained on the development and assessment of different acts, an innovative planning and it demands the beginning of changes in pedagogical strategies, curriculum approaches and the traditional role assigned to teachers and students. It requires the use of combined learning situations with a learning orientation to problem solving. A methodological proposal is presented which structures the process in four stages: analysis and previous study; curriculum design; implementation and curriculum assessment. The principal characteristics of each of them are explained. The model will provide the formation of a better specialist, with possibilities to offer a qualitatively superior performance that satisfies the increasing needs of our population and affords a better internationalist medical cooperation.

Keywords : formation of health specialists; postgraduate education; competence-based education; competence- based postgraduate training design.
