Introducción: Han sido múltiples los perfeccionamientos por los que ha transitado el plan de estudios de la carrera de Medicina desde el año 1984, que han permitido llegar a la conformación de una disciplina principal integradora (DPI) según su concepción actual. Objetivo: caracterizar el desarrollo del perfeccionamiento curricular de la disciplina principal integradora en el plan de estudio de la carrera Medicina desde el curso 1985-1986 hasta la actualidad. Material y Métodos: Se realizó una investigación educacional, descriptiva en el año 2016 por el Grupo asesor para planes y programas de estudio en la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de La Habana, con un análisis de los planes de estudios de la carrera de Medicina del año 1984 a la actualidad. Resultados y Discusión: Se registraron 18 cambios sucesivos en las asignaturas del plan de estudio que en la actualidad conforman la DPI. En las asignaturas clínicas y clínicas quirúrgicas, el primer cambio fue en el año 2006 y afectó solo el número de horas. El 78 % del tiempo lectivo transcurre en la educación en el trabajo. La incorporación del número de horas dedicado a la DPI en el último perfeccionamiento realizado en el año 2014 fue más gradual, desde el primero al quinto año de la carrera. Conclusiones: Los perfeccionamientos curriculares sucesivos en las asignaturas que en la actualidad conforman la DPI permitieron un acercamiento gradual a la conformación del eje profesional que caracteriza los planes de estudio “D” y “E”.

Material y Métodos: Se realizó una investigación de desarrollo tecnológico en tres etapas: primera, diseño del instrumento evaluativo; segunda, aplicación de la encuesta y ejecución del ejercicio teórico-práctico; tercera, valoración del instrumento. Resultados: El instrumento diseñado demostró que con el actual currículo la función docente educativa se cumple en 75.6%. La totalidad de los profesores y la mayor parte de los estudiantes se proyectaron correctamente, al focalizar sus opiniones en los aspectos requeridos para la validación.
