Abstract (English): The identification of the problem that graduates of the Biochemistry degree and other graduates of related degrees have faced when carrying out tasks as biochemists in teaching, research, production or service centers, required an investigation that would allow knowing if the plans of studies were or were not in accordance with the scientific-technical advances of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the country and the difficulties encountered in their professional performance. To collect this information, a survey designed by a group of professors from the department of Biochemistry of the Faculty of Biology of the University of Havana was used as an instrument. that was endorsed by experts in this area. The surveys of a population sample of 106 university graduates who worked in the field of biochemistry from 1964 to 2021 were processed. The results obtained showed that the graduates had a good postgraduate development and professional performance regardless of the study plan completed. Most of the respondents (96 %) expressed personal satisfaction with their professional work in the field of biochemistry and if they were again in the position to choose a career, or modify their profile, they would select biochemistry again.

Abstract (Spanish): La identificación de la problemáfica a la que se han enfrentado los egresados de la carrera de Bioquímica y otros egresados de carreras afines al desempeñar tareas como bioquímicos en centros docentes, de investigación, producción o servicios, requería de una investigación que permitiera conocer si los planes de estudio estaban o no acorde a los avances cientifico-técnicos de la Bioquímica y la Biología Molecular en el país y las dificultades encontradas en su actuación profesional. Para la recogida de esta información, se empleó como instrumento una encuesta diseñada por un grupo de profesores del dpto. de Bioquímica de la Facultad de Biología de la Universidad de La Habana que fue avalada por expertos en esta área. Se procesaron las encuestas de una muestra poblacional de 106 egresados universitarios que laboraban en el campo de la bioquímica desde el año 1964 hasta el 2021. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que los egresados tuvieron un buen desarrollo posgraduado y desempeño profesional independientemente del plan de estudio cursado. El 96 % de los encuestados manifestaron satisfacción personal con su labor profesional en el campo de la bioquímica y de ser posible si se encontraran de nuevo en la posición de elegir una carrera o modificar su perfil volverían a seleccionar bioquímica.
