Summary

This article presents some considerations on the novelties of the implementation of Clinic discipline in the third year of the National Training Program for General Community Medicine in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Its implementation led to considering, in its design, the academic nuances added by the different setting where future graduates will perform their work, resulting in the need of including novel methodological aspects that make the learning process more efficient and allow achieving the instructional and educational objectives in each subject. The design of this curriculum responds to a particular historical context, where 24 000 students will be graduated as medicine doctors and will have the mission of working in places of severe social difficulties, where graduates of the traditional method would not want to work once they finish their studies.
