Integración de los procesos sustantivos en la universidad médica: una experiencia en la asignatura Oftalmología

Medical education in Cuba faces the challenge of promoting meaningful, personalized learning and achieving student leadership in the university's substantive processes. This acquires special relevance in the Ophthalmology course due to its technical and clinical complexity. We share the experience of implementing a student-centered didactic strategy that integrates problem-based learning and research through projects, where students confront real cases within the framework of work-based education and community care as part of the extension axis. The objective of the article is to disseminate the results of this intervention, highlight its impact on student training, and underscore its alignment with the principles of Cuban medical education.
