A requisite for demonstrating the validity of a postgraduate program is the assessment of its social relevance.

The evaluation process was carried out in the Health Humanities and Social Sciences Development Centre of Camaguey.

Data triangulation between surveys collected and interviews granted from faculty, current students of the Medical Humanities program, and graduates of the department was utilized. Additionally, data from self-evaluation reports and from the external evaluation technical commission for accreditation in March 2016 were considered in the data triangulation.
