Guiding reflections about the special Didactics in the clinical subjects

Abstract

The objective of this work is to describe the distinctive features of the teaching-learning process of the clinical subjects. Empirical methods were used (review of documents) and theoretical methods (analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction and structural- systemic). The outcomes are presented in items. It was carried out a characterization of the personal and the process components of the teaching-learning process of these subjects; supported by the foundations of the curricular theory. The special didactics of the clinics implies the application of principles and concepts of the general didactics, to the real conditions where the medical cares occur, and the transformation of the student´s personality occurs during the interaction with the ill people. A correct preparation is required on the part of the professors as well as the presence of a good methodological work which encourages carrying out research works in this field, to contribute to a greater development of the Cuban medical education.
