The Chilean higher education model is based on Competence-Based Learning, and universities give general and specific essential competencies. However, in the case of health professions, specific skills must be acquired in a clinical context, so it is necessary establish a teaching care relationship. This means a strategic alliance among universities and health institutions acting as a clinical field for teaching. This study aims to analyze the teaching care relationship in regional Chilean State universities and establish the associated advantages, challenges, and difficulties. The results indicate that in State universities, teaching care relationships and clinical fields play an important role in the competency-based learning model and the strategic plan. Being a State university represents intangible advantages but economic disadvantages compared to private universities. Organizational and personal factors in universities and clinical fields are also involved, which could favor or hinder this relationship. Future research about this kind of strategic alliance is suggested.
