title: [Middle-level medical training in Cuba].
abstract: The background, evolution, and prospects for training middle-level medical technicians in Cuba are reviewed, with emphasis on the relationships existing among socioeconomic structures, the education sector, and the health sector. Developments since the revolution of 1959 may be divided into three periods--1959-1964, 1965-1969, and 1970-1975--which reflect a clear policy progressing from the quantitative to the qualitative. A description is given of the health and education systems and subsystems that have emerged as a result of changes in the social, political, and economic system and have made it possible to develop new approaches to teaching, including work-study programs and integrated training.
