title: [Various problems in the training of nursing personnel and health technicians and in the evaluation of their performance].
abstract: One aspect that is difficult to evaluate in the performance of graduates of nursing and health technician training centers is their acceptance by the establishments that employ them. Even though in Cuba the Ministry of Public Health is responsible for both the training and employment of these personnel, differences arise between the qualifications of the graduates and the needs of the services. The Office of the National Director of Intermediate Medical Education was instituted in order to solve this problem; it operates under the guidance of the Ministries of Education and of Public Health. After a brief review of the steps leading to the establishment of an efficient and effective educational subsystem in this field, the article enumerates the various polytechnic institutes and schools comprised in that system, and the methods by which study plans and programs are drawn up. The authors also describe the procedure used in Cuba to evaluate the efficiency of manpower training in relation to the graduate's educational and occupational profile and the needs of the services.
