CRESPO FDEZ, Diana et al. Evaluation card in Clinical Propedeutics and Internal Medicine. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.1, pp. 149-158. ISSN 1561-3194.

The evaluation of students' learning development along medical studies has been a dilemma for the medical schools and universities. During many years this evaluation was aimed at measuring knowledge acquisition in each academic discipline. Learning evaluation is an essential part of the teaching-learning process making its direction possible, as well as the control and the assessment of behavior manners that students acquire through the development of the teaching process. The strategies to learn about the development of the subjects:  Clinical Propedeutics, Medical Semiology and Internal Medicine are designed to encourage students' self-training and to provide the basic tools and knowledge to develop the necessary skills. A permanent record  to evaluate students' development in these subjects does not exist in the doctor's office; thus the teaching staff of the 3^rd academic year at "Turcios Lima" Outpatient Teaching Clinic in Pinar del Rio (2008-2009), decided to prepare a card which includes the main aspects to be considered through the development of knowledge and skills during the stay-period with the purpose of controlling systematically and consistently the evaluation of the students' performance during the stay-period as future Comprehensive Doctors.
