Abstract

Introduction: The contemporary society demands the presence of competent people, with the necessary resources to undertake, in an innovative way, the functions and tasks for which they have been trained from the theoretical point of view. However, this preparation, as an isolated link, does not guarantee the "generation" of competent individuals. The quality of health services is measured by the level of competence of workers. The general aspects of the higher education system maintain that workers will continuously improve professionally. It is necessary to design didactic strategies for the Obstetrics and Gynecology subject aimed at training based on performance competencies.

Objective: To design the didactic processes for the formation of competencies in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Author's stand: It is necessary to design didactic strategies for the Obstetrics and Gynecology subject in view of training based on performance competencies, for which a documentary and historical-logical analysis of its syllabus was carried, prior to 2010, in order to propose the relevant transformations in the didactic processes of the subject.

Conclusions: The results showed the transformations made to the syllabus of the subject from 2010 to 2020. The design was based on the performance competency model, due to the need to increase the quality of health services, based on the principles of Cuban medical education as part of the national health system.
