The objective of the study is to determine the relationship between learning styles and the development of generic competencies in Health Services Administration students; through a correlational study, in a population of 170 Health Services Administration students in the city of Barranquilla. For learning styles, Kolb's learning styles instrument was used; and for generic competencies, a standardized test designed under the methodology of the Evidence-Based Model and oriented to monitor the development of critical reading, written communication, citizenship competencies, quantitative reasoning and English. The resulting data were organized in a spreadsheet and processed using Statgraphics and R software. The results show that there is a strong relationship between divergent style and written communication, resulting from diversity in their concrete and reflective approach.
