ABSTRACT

Introduction: The institutional evaluation of the faculties of medicine constitutes an essential tool to ensure the indispensable standards of academic and scientific quality, not only for the planning and the establishment of strategic politics, but also for the management, which allows the institution to give explanations to the society about the fulfillment of its main objective: to improve the health of the population. Objectives: To present the structure of the process of institutional evaluation and the preliminary results of the pilot study carried out during the academic course 2012. Method: There was carried out a documentary investigation that complements itself with surveys to students and teachers which used as an evaluation tool the Global Standards of Basic Medical Education of the World Federation of Medical Education.

With the implementation of this algorithm it stands out important aspects related to human and material resources and how these resources are organized to guarantee the functioning of the institution, it reveals the conceiving problems and methodologies of design and implementation of the curriculum, among other problems.
