In this investigation, the existing limitations in the training of the resident doctor of internal medicine are approached, who is not able to incorporate the theoretical-practical skills as for the knowledge of the human immunodeficiency virus/aids, the clinical-immunological, virological and psychological evaluation, and the prescription of the treatment schedules for the preventive control and follow-up of the opportunist infections. Likewise, some inadequacies in the instruction to this specialist which limit their holistic training in the health-disease process of people who live with the human immunodeficiency virus/aids are described

Keywords : medicine resident; medical training; internal medicine; human immunodeficiency virus; AIDS.
