The university of medical sciences in Holguin is calling for health technicians and short-cycle higher technicians, linked to health institutions, to continue their professional training in the next school year, 2025-2026, in the modality of course by encounter.
According to Yamila Benítez Méndez, professor of the Admissions Department of the University of Medical Sciences of Holguin (UCMHo). These degrees are intended only for technicians graduated from Public Health schools.
She clarified that this is a continuity of study for medium technicians or short cycle medium technicians, who must be authorized by their work center, by means of a release letter. They must also be between 18 and 35 years old and be graduates of a technical career related to the profile of the degree requested.
In this modality of studies the interested parties may enroll, as long as they present their middle technical university degree, original and copy. The certification of completed studies with original and copy. A passport type photo and a letter of release from the direction of the institution where they work.
Likewise, the applicant must not have been sanctioned with the application of a disciplinary measure considered serious or very serious in the Internal Disciplinary Regulations of the entity prior to the application for enrollment.
As a strategy for this overcoming, priority is given to graduates of previous years. Although graduates of the current year may also enroll.
The plan of vacancies for the course per encounter is conformed according to the identified needs of the services and the possibilities of training the careers in each territory, for each academic year.
On this occasion, according to Benítez Méndez, among the courses offered, there is a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing with 195 places. Clinical Bioanalysis with 22; Imaging and Medical Radiophysics with 18. Health Rehabilitation with 40, Hygiene and Epidemiology with 20 and Computer Services with 30.
The call is made between the months of June and July because it must be established by a scale. To carry out the enrollment in the last weeks of August, in the Holguin Branch of Medical Sciences and start teaching activities in September, she concluded.
The UCMHo management establishes selection criteria for the granting. Taking into account the requirements and regulations established by resolution. Graduates from technical schools or institutions not related to Health Sciences careers. But who work in a job closely linked to the health sector, will also be eligible.
The principles to be followed for the awarding of the careers establish the order by a ranking. Which will be formed on the initial basis of the academic index, obtained in the preceding technical training. For this purpose, the 100-point grade scale will be used and those applicants whose grades are based on five points, the conversion table will be applied.
In the case of those students graduated from the Short Cycle Higher Technician Training Program who aspire to pursue a second career in this modality of studies may do so. As long as there are available places in the foreseen plan and they do not displace another applicant without university studies.
