Abstract: Introduction: Health programs have an impact on society and constitute a global health priority. The Buen Vivir Program for Diabetics in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela represents a strategy led by the People's Ministry of Health, focused on reducing the amputation rate due to diabetic foot ulcers. The training of its human capital is a fundamental pillar for providing excellent healthcare services in outpatient care units. Objective: To improve the research and postgraduate training of health professionals in healthcare units where consultations for diabetic foot ulcers are provided. Methods: An Action-Participatory Research study was conducted, using analysis-synthesis, systemic-structural, holistic-configurational, and statistical-mathematical methods. The ethical principles required for this type of research were taken into account, in addition to the use of non-parametric tests such as McNemar's, which made it possible to test the effectiveness of the study and the transformations arising from this process. Results: There was an increase in the number of scientific papers presented at national and international events, as well as professional development activities associated with the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers with risk of lower limb amputation. Conclusions: The strengthening of human resources in the training plan designed for the study allowed for the improvement of research and postgraduate training, in addition to providing content updates consistent with the fourth strategic line of the health personnel policy in the 2030 Agenda.
