ALFONSO DE LEON, José Alberto; LAUCIRICA HERNANDEZ, Clara    GONZALEZ RAMIREZ, Alicia Bárbara. About the teaching categories in the recent graduate and in the period of residence. []. , 40, 5, pp. 1680-1694. ISSN 1684-1824.

The Rules of Procedure for the Application of the High Education Teaching Categories put into effect by Resolution No. 128 was repealed by the No. 85 on October 17, 2016, however, some situations that require an analysis are not reflected in both of them. The first aspect refers to the follow-up of non-graduated instructors once their studies ends in the face of teaching categorization and in accordance with the purpose of their training as an assistant student. The second aspect refers to the cases of Comprehensive General Medicine specialists who obtain their teaching status as instructor or other main status and when they start a second specialty they pass to the status of "passive" until they finish the last. The authors advocate for giving priority in the teaching categorization to those doctors who in their student stage achieved the distinction of non-graduated instructor and not necessarily wait for them to complete their postgraduate or end their residency, because in this stage there is clear evidence of the fruitful link with teaching. A doctor who was given the condition of non-graduated instructor should not be considered “passive” during the specialization in Comprehensive General Medicine nor in another specialization by direct way, neither a resident of a second specialty with a transient teaching category of instructor or principal. Nothing more different to passivity in teaching than the stage of residency; the six items included in the teacher evaluation can be adequately fulfilled in this stage; in that direction would be necessary to link the residents with the staff of the subject and year. The authors make some considerations on residents´ teaching in Cuba and in other countries, and also on some characteristic of the teaching categorization process in other places.
