Enfatiza en temas tan medulares como el impacto del proyecto científico y pedagógico, infinitamente humano y solidario, y, por ende, en el papel de sus egresados en el contexto donde se desempeñan. Para ello esta investigación se fundamenta en el sistema de categorías, leyes y principios de la teoría de la Educación Avanzada, desde la cual, cuando se desea conocer los efectos de sus diferentes alternativas empleadas, se recurre a la evaluación de impacto que no es más que la evaluación del efecto provocado por la preparación recibida en el entorno. La evaluación de impacto es posible siempre que el efecto de la aplicación del objeto trascienda la esfera de lo inmediato.Conclusiones: la evaluación de impacto social contribuye, en cualquier contexto, a esa evaluación continua y permanente que demuestre el impacto social que ha implicado una figura profesionalmente preparada, en este caso los egresados de la Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina.Palabras clave: ELAM; evaluación; impacto social; comportamientos profesional y humano; egresados.ABSTRACTObjective: to deepen in the evaluation of social impact of the professional and human behavior of the graduates of the ELAM.Development: the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) focuses its efforts on the search for excellence in the educational process, the social relevance of all its results, based on efficient management at all levels of management, collective work and social commitment of each member of the university community.
