Abstract

Background: one way to strengthen extension work is the work of vocational training and professional guidance; activity is feasible to be perfected through methodological work.
Objective: to prepare a manual of methodological guidelines for the development of vocational activities linked to community health projects.
Methods: a qualitative panoramic investigation was carried out at the Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences, from  September 2018-September 2022. Theoretical methods were used: analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive; and empirical: documentary analysis and interviews with key informants. The product was evaluated by specialist criteria.
Results: Guidance needs were diagnosed on the execution of community research projects from vocational and professional work, due to lack of experience in this activity and there being no support material for consultation to develop vocational activities for investigative purposes in solving problems of health in the community, for which the methodological guidelines manual was prepared.
Conclusions: the manual constitutes support material to develop vocational activities in schools so that they contribute to the solution of community health problems through participatory scientific research.
