Introduction: linking the different subjects taught in basic and clinical medical practice cycle; allow to develop hypothetical deductive reasoning in the student of medical career.

Methods: socialization workshops with specialists was applied, and the results of the consultation to a group of experts and the application of the results in educational practice. Results: the results showed that 61.9% of the experts believed that the evaluated aspects of the methodology are quite adequate, while there are no aspects evaluated unsuitable and inappropriate for them. In the group where the methodology was applied, better results were observed comparing to  the group that did not received this methodology. Conclusions: the triangulation of used methods allow in developing hypothetical deductive reasoning in the student of medical career.
