Particularly in the area of Health Sciences, one of the most challenging tasks is the evaluation of students’ clinical competencies in an objective manner, considering the complexities involved in the system of patient care (Canicoba, Baptista and Visconti, 2013). Unfortunately, the most important proposals, such as the Tuning Project (2007), the DeSeCo Project (2006) and the OECD (1994), which include this training model, do not consider clinical competencies or the degree of Licenciado en Nutrición Humana (Moreno Olivos, 2010). (García García, 2010) However, the reforms suffered in our educational system in this century respond to a certain extent to the demands of the organizations that are promoting the educational model by competencies at a global level. This trend is present in Mexico mainly in the technical, upper-middle and upper-middle areas, and naturally in the area of Health Sciences.

The CPASS (Centre for Applied Pedagogy to Health Sciences) conducted a study with 100 health residents who participated in a series of meetings and training sessions, as well as consultations, validation and outreach activities (Boucher, 2014). In January 2006, the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Montreal undertook a renewal project to foster competencies in many roles expected of them throughout their careers. In recent decades, the importance of linking professionalization with the corresponding needs for job performance has been recognized, and competency-based educational models in educational institutions have been disseminated worldwide. KEYWORDS :assessment methods, competency-based education, nutrition, questionnaries. Conclusions The validated proposal of a questionnaire to evaluate clinical competencies is presented to students of Bachelor in Nutrition. The reliability of the scales resulted with Chronbach Alphas greater than 0.7.
Results: The questionnaire was applied to 622 students from first to eighth semester, 469 (75.4%) are women and 153 (24.6%) are men. In order to validate the linear relationship with the semester studied, ANOVA and Bonferroni were used, based on the use of the statistical program Stata® v.14. In the first instance, the instrument was validated through 5 academicpairs using the Delphi system, the reliability through Cronbach's alpha and the main component tests for the exploratory factorial analysis and Spearman's for the confirmatory analysis. The sample size was calculated by the formula for obtaining proportions with correction for finite population proposed in Daniel's book (2005), yielding as a minimum size a n=280 students, to potentiate the statistical study all students surveyed were included. All students enrolled at the beginning of the PAR-2018 semester (N=1018) were included as target population. Design and methodology: This is an analytical cross-sectional observational study. Objective: To validate an instrument that allows the evaluation of the level of basic clinical competencies acquired by the students enrolled in the Degree in Nutrition. It is thus important to know the level of basic clinical competencies (Clinical History, Physiopathology, Procedures) that students of the Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition have. At the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos (UAEM), nutrition studies follow the competency-based educational model. Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos, educational challenges require linking theory and practice in real settings to ensure meaningful learning and to respond to the social commitment of higher education institutions.
