| description | <strong>Background:</strong> Cuban medical universities are aimed at the social formation of general practitioners who incorporate knowledge and skills that allow them to develop an appropriate professional performance when facing health issues, such as breast cancer. Promoting their postgraduate training is highly important. <strong><br />Objective:</strong> To describe the results of the implementation of a postgraduate Mastology course. <strong><br />Methods: </strong>Educational research conducted in the province of Cienfuegos on the benefits reported after the implementation (from 2000 to 2010) of a postgraduate Mastology course for general practitioners.
