proper implementation of the new curriculum in accordance to the orientation and emphasis of innovation, taking on the
challenge of training professionals who can interact with the complexities of contemporary society. Specifically it
suggests the need to link curriculum management, formative vision and disciplinary field, allowing adequate
coordination between the different disciplinary lines of the career, namely, between theory and practice. A
transformation that occurs because of the incorporation of the teaching model based on competency. Thus, it is expected
that the future professional can solve problems and interact critically within his field of action.
