An assessment instrument for the main objectives of the subjects Medical Microbiology and Parasitology (Biological Agents) was applied, as an anonymous survey, to 4^th semester Medical Students from General Calixto Garcia Medical School in the school term 2003_2004. It was applied at four different times: I) Before Propedeutics, at the beginning of their 5^th semester; II) After Internal Medicine, at the end of their 6^th semester; III) After Pediatrics at the end of their 8^th semester and IV) After Family Medicine II, during their 11^th and 12^th semester, to find out if the future General Practitioner has acquired the main knowledge of the subject and to assess its consolidation in the Clinical Area.The students did not know what was expected about the agents that cause frequent infectious diseases in our population; they had no retention of the subject's instructive goals nor was the consolidation of these goals achieved in the clinical area.
