Training assessment emerged in the 17 century, in search for giving value judgment to the students’ actions and behavior, for systematic determining the worth, value and significance of the aspect to assess according to criteria and norms established at that time. Its evolution, from the point of view of the conceptual and process, received the influence of research paradigms. Many models have been proposed around the world to improve the process of quality assessing in the educational field. Currently, the term ‘assessment’ is associated to the term ‘impact’, frequently used as an expression of a determinate action’s effect on changes or transformations in people, organizations, processes or products. This process has had different stages in Cuba, but only in the 21 century, the University System of Accreditation Programs (SUPRA by its acronym in Spanish) -currently known as Accreditation and Assessment System of High Education (SEAES by its acronym in Spanish)- has begun to be implemented, with the objective of achieving a better continuous training, according to the principles and demands of the socialist society. Among it, the Accreditation and Assessment System of Post-grade Specialties (SEA-EP by its acronym in Spanish), play an important role in the development of the post-grade figure, having a remarkable repercussion in the medical sciences. This article exposes the historical evolution of the quality assessment and its impact in the medical sciences training process in the country as a referent for subsequent researches.
