[Model of a program of clinical investigation at the first level of medical care]. / Modelo de un programa de investigación clínica en el primer nivel de atención médica.

A major commitment of educational institutions in the health field is to train professionals capable of meeting the needs of society. In order to achieve this goal it is necessary to develop research programs related to field service and thoroughly integrated to the teaching-learning process. In this regard, we propose a model for the implementation and development of a clinical research program for the primary level of health care. This model can be adapted or modified according to the particular needs of the community, leading to the establishment of a dynamic and continuous system based on feedback obtained from scientific data. On the other hand, it assures the delivery of high quality health care services to the community.
