Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de los 7 estudiantes extranjeros que matricularon en la Facultad de Estomatología de la Universidad Médica de Santiago de Cuba durante el curso escolar 2010- 2011, relacionado con los criterios en torno a su integración al proceso docente-educativo, con vistas a precisar algunas opiniones sobre su formación profesional, particularmente en el área clínica y la residencia estudiantil, incluyendo los valores que, a su juicio, contribuyen a desarrollar la estrategia educativa de la carrera. Todos los alumnos consideraron que presentaban una formación satisfactoria; casi la mitad de ellos refirieron sentirse bien en el área de beca y que participaban en las actividades culturales, deportivas y sociales programadas por la Federación Estudiantil Universitaria, de manera que existe una integración adecuada de estos educandos al proceso docente educativo.
A descriptive and cross-sectional study on the criteria around the integration to the teaching-educational process of the 7 foreign students who were registered in the Stomatology Faculty of the Medical University from Santiago de Cuba was carried out during the course 2010-2011. It was aimed at specifying some opinions on their professional training, particularly in the clinical area and the student residence, including the values that, in their opinion, contribute to develop the educational strategy of the career. All the students considered that they had a satisfactory training; almost half of them referred to feel well in the scholarship area and that they participated in the cultural, sport and social activities programmed by the University Students Federation, so that an appropriate integration exists from these students to the teaching educational process.
