Background:

the contents referring to experimental research topics in the different specialties of basic biomedical sciences are highly complex, and the related literature is scattered and scarce.

Objective:

to design a manual for the training of residents of basic biomedical sciences in experimental research topics.

Methods:

a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out from September-2012 to June-2019 at the Biomedical Research Unit of Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences. Theoretical methods were used: analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, systemic-structural and modeling; empirical ones: documentary analysis. Eleven experts were selected to assess the manual in terms of its relevance, authenticity, timeliness, methodological structure, scientificity, and possible generalization.

Results:

a procedure material was designed that facilitates the consultation of the residents for their training in experimental research topics with biological models. It is made up of a prologue, three chapters and a section for the literature consulted, in which the subject is addressed in a didactic way with updating of the conceptual, theoretical and historical aspects. It contains photographs taken by the authors themselves and simple language, which facilitate the understanding of procedures that are adapted for the first time to the conditions of the experimental centers in Cuba.

Conclusions:

the designed manual promotes the preparation required in experimental research topics in training specialists, as a meaningful aspect in the education of residents of basic biomedical sciences, in accordance with the requirements of higher medical education.
