Objective: to design and evaluate a teaching strategy for medical students with the role of the family in the development of the individual, which promotes competition: “Critical thinking, clinical judgment, decision making and information management”. Methods: cross-sectional study. Teachers who were experts in the subject and in competencies carried out the design and elaboration of the teaching strategy. 138 first year of bachelor’s degree students and five professors from the Faculty of Medicine of the National Autonomous University of Mexico participated. Sampling was non-probabilistic by convenience. Participants assessed the effectiveness of the strategy for knowledge acquisition, as well as the skills and attitudes needed for the development of competition. Results: Teachers considered that the strategy favored the development of the first intermediate profile of the competition. Students noted that they achieved the learning goals, applying knowledge, and experiencing interest in the topic. Conclusions: the positive response of teachers and students to the strategy showed the need to implement teaching methods that promote active learning of the medical student, in order to obtain adequate training in psychological aspects of the family.
