This Article is the product of the research line ‘’Educational and curricular management for integral training’’, developed in the Master’s Degree in Education of the University Corporation Minuto de Dios. This identifies the professional competences of doctors to classify the loss of work or occupational capacity, which was previously called disability, with the Colombian framework of Integral Social Security, this work is based on Medical knowledge, the legal framework of qualifications, and the review of four postgraduate study plans in Occupational Health- now called Health and Safety in the work place-. Nevertheless, it is consulted a group of doctors that make up the Disability Classification Boards, regarding prerequisite skills and training needs. From the results, it can be seen that the programs place a formative emphasis on the prevention of occupational disease. However, they do not develop indepth classification training, specifically in relation to the deficiency/disease. Therefore, it is evident the need to create training plans that include skills and knowledge to act in medical diagnosis, with social and ethical responsibility, and that these consider the paradigm shift on classification.
