ABSTRACT

Introduction: The growing environmental demands generate new challenges for the institutions of higher medical education. They commit institutions of higher medical education to the fulfillment of the minimum parameters of quality in the training process of the students, in order to ensure the proper medical practice. Hence the need to implement the evaluation of the student training process as a way to help raise its quality.
Objective: To design a methodology for evaluating the quality of student training in the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM).
Methods: Analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, historical-logical, systemic approach and modeling were used as theoretical methods. As empirical methods, the documentary and content analysis, the survey and the consultation of experts were used.
Results: A methodology was designed based on a set of essential relationships and principles, structured in a set of interrelated phases, forming an organic unit, whose objectives, content, actions and results respond to the requirements of the evaluation of quality of the students' training.
Conclusions: The increased quality of training is perceived as a challenge, a necessity and a commitment with which the students, professors, and the ELAM directors are responsible. The methodological proposal designed was evaluated as viable, highlighting the importance of the different phases that comprise it, as well as the relationship between the objective, content, actions and results contained in each one of them.
