Abstract
Medical education systems must ensure that physicians who graduate from medical schools are trained to provide patients with safe, effective, and quality care. In medical education, evaluation lets us know if these programs are forming a resource according to the program's design. In Latin America, few universities carry out curricular evaluations or are accredited. Therefore, a narrative review of the literature on the different evaluation methods of medical programs commonly used was carried out to offer a guide on how this process can be carried out.
