The objective of the research is to analyze the way in which clinical reasoning is developed in the students of the Clinical Propedeutics Learning Unit through Problem-Based Learning in the 2019-2020 school year. The methodological approach is quantitative, correlational and descriptive. An instrument for measuring knowledge prior to the intervention with pre-test ABP was applied; that is, an examination of previous general knowledge with an approach oriented to clinical reasoning and a post test.
