ESPINDOLA ARTOLA, Arnaldo; MACHADO RAMIREZ, Evelio F; MOLA REYES, Cila E  and  SAMPEDRO RUIZ, Reinaldo. Characterization of the assessable professional performance of statistical information in medical students. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.1, pp. 107-123. ISSN 1727-8120.

The Cuban Ministry of Public Health has given special importance to the subject of professional assessment of statistical information in the area of public health; however, a bibliographic review allowed authors to prove pedagogical debate unsatisfactory. The review was aimed at diagnosing its current state and therefore provide alternatives that allow its formation and development in medical students. The objective of the article is to characterize the assessable professional performance of statistical information in medical students. The results achieved through the application of research methods and techniques such as surveys and knowledge tests enabled to confirm that, nowadays, professional performance is below satisfactory performance levels. As a result, newer and more effective ways of achieving it in medical students will be searched for.

Keywords : performance; professional performance; assessment of statistical information; medical students.
