The training of the Cuban pediatrician has gone through different moments through the years. The objective of this article is to characterize the teaching of Cuban pediatrics in the different stages: colony, neo-colony and Revolution in power, in which the teaching went from a biologists and expository character to linking theory with practice. The pediatrics specialty program expresses the system of skills and knowledge that the student must develop in each module, stay or subject. Three types of assessment are applied: assessment in the course of residency, per year, end-of-year assessment, and state examination. New times face challenges that require a comprehensive pediatrician with a high degree of training, autonomy and good decisions, which require didactic intentionality in their orientation, development and assessment.

Keywords : pediatric; specialization; professional training.
