ABSTRACT
Background: Study Plan D for the Medicine degree included a course on nutrition; the original program was replaced by a version prepared by teachers from Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences.Objective: to assess the results of the Healthy food course prepared by teachers from Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences, and implemented from 2018 to 2019 in the Medicine degree in Cuba.
Methods: a descriptive research was carried out at Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences, 2019-2020 academic year. Theoretical methods were used to base the research and information gathering, and empirical ones: documentary analysis, questionnaire for teachers and the focal group technique.
Results: the criteria of professors and students of the degree in Villa Clara and some teachers of 20 medical schools in Cuba were favorable regarding the design of the course, its relevance and possibilities of its implementation; they considered its contents in correspondence with the profile declared in the professional model; most of the teachers managed to motivate the students and the course grade results were satisfactory; although there are aspects to be improved, among which it stands out that teachers from ten faculties considered that prior preparation is required to achieve a higher quality teaching-learning process.
Conclusions: the Healthy food course is a valid project in the effort to raise the quality of nutrition teaching in Medicine.
