Abstract

The professional personality which society requires does not born with the human being, but is a consequence of the historical-social  experience and professional reasons, where the role of the teacher and individual work with students contribute to their overall development. Our goal was to approach from a theoretical and methodological framework the strengthening of humanist values as the assignment of cuban society for the Medical University of the 21st century, for which it was performed  an investigation of exploratory type. Supported by the theoretical empirical method of documentary review it was performed a bibliographic revision, which allowed, by means of theoretical methods, the creation of a theoretical framework of the topic, supported by the analysis-synthesis and induction deduction methods, transiting across the historical evolution of the University, the main elements from the perspective of the teaching process and its psychological approah, to finally conclude that values are motivational formations of human development, in which all teachers have responsibilities from the curricular and extracurricular activities, in the context of vocational training of University students by the positive social significance to regulate and guide the attitude of these humanist growth and human development. That is the reason why every professor of medical sciences must contribute to his strengthening in the youth because this is the stage for internal fixation of socially positive values in the way of personal convictions.
