Abstract

Introduction: During the teaching-educational process in the subject Surgery, students need to rely on imaging studies and correlate them with their clinical approach to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. On this basis, they propose an optimal treatment to patients with surgical conditions, a reason why they require an adequate development of this skill. The advance of information and communication technologies, as well as the conditions in the universities of medical sciences, allow their usage as learning resources; especially one of their tools: educational multimedia.

Objective: To design a multimedia that allows the development of the clinical-imaging correlation in students of the subject Surgery.

Methods: An educational research of technological development was carried out. Theoretical methods were used in its design (the historical-logical method, documentary analysis, the structural-systemic approach, and the inductive-deductive method), as well as empirical methods (surveys, interviews, observation, expert consultation, and methodological triangulation).

Results: A list of difficulties and potentialities was obtained, which allowed building the content for a multimedia, whose Marxist-Leninist character design contains a constructivist, flexible and open pedagogical approach, in order to promote autonomy, collaboration, independent study and virtual innovation.

Conclusions: Learning needs were identified for an adequate clinical-imaging correlation. The fundamental skills to be developed were description of the imaging study and clinical correlation. The design of a multimedia to contribute to the development of these skills was found to be necessary and pertinent. The multimedia was designed and validated by experts.
