Satisfaction of the participants in the teaching-learning process of the University polyclinic Project

Abstract

A qualitative research work was carried out, to value the satisfaction of the participants in the teaching-learning process of the formation of General Practitioners in the University polyclinic Project, in the Medicine Faculty of Villa Clara, from 2007 to 2010. Theoretical and empirical methods were used. The universe was composed by the principal participants of the process, who formed focal groups in each polyclinic; a survey was applied to them at the end of each term. There were determined the main achievements, difficulties and a general valuation. Difficulties in relation to professors, tutors and facilities are identified. This modality makes possible a better access to material aids, a more personalized attention to the students, and greater ties between theory and practice since the first years of the career, through the community doctor´s office, which is the training and working scenario of the future professional.
