Abstract: Introduction: The role of the tutor in the comprehensive training of future health professionals is one of the methodological lines of work that has been developed over several academic years to improve the teaching process. Objective: To design a strategy to improve the work of tutors in the Stomatology degree program. Methods: Qualitative research was conducted to design a working methodology with the aim of improving the performance and development of the teaching staff as tutors in this teaching activity. Theoretical and empirical methods were used, such as surveys and document analysis, taking into account the provisions of the regulations and governing documents of Higher Education in Medical Sciences. Results: The presence of a novice faculty was found, composed mainly of instructors with limited experience as tutors. The difficulties observed may influence the acquisition of skills and habits in stomatological practice that are intended to be achieved by graduates of the Stomatology program. Conclusions: The strategy designed constituted a teaching tool to guide tutors in their educational work and to strive for excellence in the training processes of the Stomatology Degree Program.
