From the second stage or formative period of the New Pedagogical Model, tutelary teaching becomes relevant, as the type of teaching that involves direct teacher-student contact, permanently and systematically developing essentially a teaching function with the assigned students throughout the period of their training.
Hence, in this idea the tutor plays an essential role in the process of training and transformation of students, being aware of the problems that may arise both in curricular and extracurricular activities.
The pedagogical tutor is the one who helps students in the process of assimilation of knowledge, selection of complementary materials, the direction towards the learning objective and development of skills for self-study and self-training, also forms values, attends in the students their needs not only teachers but psychological and affective and participates with him in solving his problems, that is, the tutor participates in the comprehensive professional training of the student, understood as professional fulfillment and personal-social development.
The work of the tutor is of vital importance in the training of human resources in health, as our municipality is a pioneer in the universalization of education, it is that we pose the following problem: Is the educational work of the tutor in Southern Consolation developed correctly?
Being our object of study to strengthen the integral formation (study - work) in our students.

The curriculum design contains three training moments or cycles:
1st. The full-time student regularly remains in the classrooms and care areas under the direct attention of the teachers, which qualifies him as a Basic Technician.
2nd. the student acquires the status of a working student since in parallel he develops actions as a worker and continues his studies through weekly meetings until he completes his technical training, graduating as a Middle Technician.
3rd. With these same characteristics of courses by encounters, he culminates his academic training obtaining the professional level once he accredits his level of competence, which allows him to acquire the title of Bachelor of Health Technology in the corresponding profile.
In the 2003-2004 school years, the process of universalization of education began in our province and in the Southern Consolation municipality.
