Abstract

Introduction: the professionals’ level of competences has been a concern of health systems to increase the quality of the services. The functions and actions of general surgeons are of vital importance, so it is essential for the human capital that carries out this activity, to have the required competences. This motivated the completion of a doctoral thesis which aims to the realization of a methodology for training and developing professional competences in general surgery specialists. The research, whose preliminary results are the present work, was carried out in the Clinical Surgical University Hospital Comandante Faustino Perez Hernandez, in Matanzas.

Objective: to characterize the current state of professional competences in general surgery specialists.

Materials and methods: from the theoretical level, the following methods were used: documental analysis, synthetic analysis, historic logical analysis, systematization, induction-deduction, modeling and system approach. From the empiric level, the survey was used.

Results: some deficiencies in the professional competences and in satisfactions that affect the organizational culture were shown.

Conclusions: the process carried out, combined with theoretical fundaments, ratified the need of elaborating a methodology for training and developing professional competences in general surgery specialists, as alternative to the medical education sciences for solving the difficulties found.
