Abstract

Introduction: In Cuba, the Ministry of Public Health has organized medical check-ups in the family medical office for workers who do not have a basic health team in their work centers, although the Ministry recognizes that its quality, systematicity and medical improvement on the subject should be upgraded.

Objective: To analyze the process of training and systematic updating of the family medicine doctors on issues concerning work environment for the comprehensive care of the workers’ health.

Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out in the period from March to September 2020. Different search engines were used, which allowed access to various referential databases. These offered full texts, indexes and academic periodical publications, and included BIREME, Ebsco, SciELO regional, PubMed and others. The main theoretical procedures applied were induction-deduction, analysis-synthesis, as well as abstraction and integration, which made it possible to carry out a historical and systematic assessment of the object studied.

Conclusions: Professional improvement influences the upgrading of the quality of services, as well as the level of satisfaction and social recognition. The family medicine doctor is the cornerstone for the achievements of population health, which includes workers. Such physician is who, by offering them the necessary tools and advice, will be able to provide comprehensive medical care to the assigned community.
