Our main objective is to introduce the results of the implementation of the problem-based learning method (ABP in Spanish) as a didactic strategy to integrate theorical knowledge and practice in the course of Semiology in the Nursery program of Madgalena University. Re- search was based in a mixed methodology, with an introduction of elements of participative-action and through the management of cli- nical cases for the development of students' skills in the assessment of patients. We carried out a quasi-experimental work on a sample of 21 students of fourth and fifth semester, based on the design of five clinical cases. After that, we applied a Likert-based survey with a scale of 1 to 7 in knowledge, abilities, and attitudes, with a total of 54 items. We determined the agreement, acceptance and attitude trend regar- ding the use of the didactic strategy based in ABP as an alternative for change. Results allowed us to evidence how the students agreed with the expected criteria of ABP, as well as to prove their willingness to use the implemented methodology. In general, the group showed that they understood the contribution to differential orientation provided by the usage of ABP through the clinical cases proposed in the class- room to carry out the course of Semiology.
