ABSTRACT

Introduction: Universidad San Carlos de Guatemala is the educational institution that hosts the Faculty of Medical Sciences but this center does not have any PhD studies in Sciences that would favor the strengthening of its role which has been that of setting closer linking with the state, the society and the industrial sector and thus contributing to the search for solutions to problems and to priority needs of the country.
Objectives: to show the design of the curriculum for the formation of PHD in public health of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the Universidad San Carlos de Guatemala.
Methods: quantitative and qualitative techniques were jointly used as well as official document reviews related to the rules and norms set for this type of program.
Results: the program is made up of 5 areas that provide output to several contents that help to deepen into the knowledge of public health, particularly research whereas the teaching curricular activities are carried out in three years in the semi face-to-face modality.
Conclusions: at the end of each course, thesis seminar or thematic seminar, a learning product is obtained; there were prepared as part of the process the guidelines that allowed the participants to make their papers in due time for handing them in. The experts believed that the program had a logical order, is truly suitable for Guatemala and particularly for the Faculty of Medical Sciences.
