The objective of this research was to make a historical analysis of the trends of the professional upgrading of clinical laboratory technicians and technologists in Camaguey province. The historical and logical method made it possible to study the historical trends of the professional upgrading with an inter-disciplinary approach in their historical transformation and to understand the essence of their development in line with the specific historical context in which they appear as well as their conditioning and social implications. It is concluded that, according to set indicators, important changes occur during the identified stages in the professional upgrading of clinical laboratory technicians and technologists, although the actions to encourage professional upgrading of this staff are lacking, which has an impact on the general culture and the professional performance of the clinical laboratory worker.

Keywords : historical analysis; clinical laboratory; professional upgrading.
