Abstract

A retrospective qualitative-quantitative study was carried out in Villa Clara University of Medical sciences from 2008 to 2010 so as to assess the implementation of the ninth semester in the University Polyclinic model. Mathematical and empirical methods were used, such as, questionnaires, nominal group and analysis of documents. An evaluative instrument was applied to a sample of 72 students from the fifth year of the Medicine career to determine the preceding knowledge they had about the subjects they had passed in the first term. The results of the state exam applied on July 2010 were also analyzed, because for the first time, it was applied after the students had finished the fifth year rotations in the primary health care scenario, where the formative and the training components coincided, this guaranteed a high cognitive level in the students while preparing them to have a satisfactory professional performance.
