A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 12 medical students of the Municipal Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba to determine their performance and achievement in the subject Human Morphophysiology I from September to December 2010. In these students the average performance and the tendency to the mean academic achievement prevailed, while the responsibility and communication and interpersonal skills were high and cognitive skills were low. The results will serve the rest of the faculty to design and plan actions for improving the student performance and the school achievement.
