The survey was applied to all students from first to fifth year of the career, the total number of students surveyed was 412. Results: there was a predominance of females with a total of 286 (69.4%) compared to 126 males (30.6%), the most frequent age group was 21 to 24 years old with 213 students (51 .7%). In relation to the preclinical students, the test scores were 15.12±2.07 and for the clinical students 15.45±1.75. The only significant difference found is observed in the index related to sex, where women (15.39±1.77) present a higher value than men (14.94±2.28).
