    This study assessed the impact of Consulting Group Ecuador (CGE)'s management on the optimization of eco-nomic resources in the health system of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas through volunteer work (2018-2023). A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional descriptive design was used. The sample included five auxiliary qualifications and three health mentions, totaling 4,800 graduated students who completed volunteer hours. For data collection, a registration form was applied, allowing for the systematization of variables such as: year, qualification, number of graduates, volunteer hours, and the economic value of such contributions. The analy-sis included a time series evaluation and cross-tabulation to identify trends in annual economic contributions. The most significant result was that the economic contribution peaked in 2022 with $2,251,664, coinciding with a higher number of graduates that year and, consequently, an increase in the number of volunteer hours completed. Volunteering has been a key resource for the health system; through the synergy achieved in this activity, CGE has significantly contributed to critical health areas such as the COVID-19 pandemic and has simultaneously managed to strengthen the practical training of students.

    The study, carried out at Consulting Group Ecuador, Santo Domingo headquarters, aimed to analyze the number of graduates and dropout trends in health assistant degrees between 2018 and 2023. With a quantitative approach and a descriptive cross-sectional design, 6,154 students from five auxiliary training courses and three health specialties, such as Prehospital Care (APH) and Nursing, were studied. For data collection, a registration form was used, where variables such as year, degree, number of enrollees, dropouts, causes of dropout and graduates were included. The data were processed in Excel and analyzed in SPSS using ANOVA to evaluate significant differences in graduation and dropout. The results showed a sustained growth of graduates, especially in Nursing and APH. The initial dropout rate was higher in the first modules, progressively decreasing. The main causes of dropout were a lack of vocation in the first modules, academic difficulties and economic problems, accentuated during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was concluded that, although the training capacity increased, reflected in a high number of graduates and a dropout rate of less than 22%, it is recommended to reinforce early vocational guidance interventions; contributing to reducing dropout and consolidating the achievements observed in the training of health assistants.
