Educational Work in the Reduction of Adolescent Pregnancy

The training process for specialists in General Comprehensive Medicine (MGI) includes aspects related to adolescent pregnancy in their curriculum. In spite of the above, it has been shown that the knowledge they receive in this module is not sufficient for this professional to have a greater impact on community education and to achieve adequate modes of action for the family and the adolescent herself; furthermore, there are incongruities between the theoretical elements of the study curriculum and the practical reality faced in the field. The above leads us to the elaboration of a methodological alternative containing motivating, suggestive and flexible actions that favor the preparation of specialists and thus reduce teenage pregnancy, an aspect with a significant social connotation.
