Introduction:

The evaluation process in medical specialties is based on performance evaluation to achieve training in response to the social order, which requires the preparation of teachers to develop the capacities which allow them to carry out a process by this approach.

Objective:

To propose a pedagogical model for the improvement of the evaluation system of gynecology and obstetrics residents at Finlay-Albarrán Medical Sciences Faculty, in correspondence with the social demands and the Cuban National Health System.

Methods:

Theoretical, empirical and statistical methods were used, as well as parameterization and methodological triangulation. The participation of professors, directors and residents of gynecology and obstetrics teaching department represented 74.1% of the studied universe.

Results:

A two-level structured pedagogical model is proposed: conceptual and methodological levels. The conceptual level comprises the theoretical foundations, scientific ideas, dimensions and purpose. The methodological level is itemized in application dynamics and it is organized in four stages with defined objectives and actions. The interrelated foundations made possible the organization of actions engaged for structuring. The methodological triangulation of the results of its evaluation positively valued the theoretical viability of the pedagogical model that is presented.

Conclusions:

Modeling as a scientific method allowed elaborating a pedagogical model for improving the evaluation system of the gynecology and obstetrics resident at Finlay-Albarrán Medical Sciences Faculty. The results obtained allowed to declare its theoretical validity.
