%X Se realiz¨® una investigaci¨®n con el objetivo de caracterizar el examen ordinario de Morfofisiolog¨ªa Humana I aplicado durante el curso 2005-2006 del Programa Nacional de Formaci¨®n de Medicina Integral Comunitaria. Se realiz¨® una entrevista al grupo de expertos para clasificar las preguntas e incisos del examen de acuerdo al ¨¢rea de las ciencias b¨¢sicas biom¨¦dicas que exploran, los contenidos tem¨¢ticos explorados y el tipo de pregunta utilizada, esto permiti¨® valorar el comportamiento del ¨ªndice de dificultad. Se realiz¨® la t¨¦cnica grupo focal a los expertos para conocer su opini¨®n acerca de los resultados obtenidos del an¨¢lisis. Como resultado se encontr¨® que la dificultad de las preguntas e incisos estuvo dada por la complejidad de los temas explorados, la forma en que fueron redactadas, el tipo de inciso utilizado y el n¨²mero de ¨¢reas que fueron representadas en cada inciso. En el examen las preguntas e incisos que exploraran mayor n¨²mero de ¨¢reas de las ciencias y su dise o corresponde al tipo de selecci¨®n m¨²ltiple, presentaron mayor dificultad. A research was done with the objective of characterizing the written exams of the discipline Human Morphophysiology for the first cohort of students of the National Program of Comprehensive Community Medicine in the teaching course 2005-2006. A group of experts was interviewed to classify the questions and items of the exams according to the area of the biomedical basic sciences they explored and the types of questions that were used. This process allowed the assessment of the difficulty index behavior. A technique of focal group with experts was used to know their opinion about the results obtained from the analysis. The results showed that the difficulty of the questions and items was due to the complexity of the themes dealt with, the way they were written, the kind of items used and the number of knowledge areas explored in each item. In the exam, the questions and items that explored the greatest number of science areas were of the multiple choice kind and showed the greatest degree of difficulty.
