Introduction.

The evaluation of the medical degree at the UPV-EHU requires a constant review in order to detect areas for improvement, and to achieve the excellence.

Material and Methods.

A descriptive study of results from the survey carried out with students of the clinical courses from the four teaching units (university hospitals).

Results.

From 945 students, 395 responses were collected from January the 2nd, 2018 to February 28th, 2018, that represents a response rate of 41,79%. The collected data concern to the subjects in theoretical and practical classes, evaluation of the material, the available facilities, teaching and administrative staff, as well as to a global evaluation of the degree.

Discussion.

The study is based on an opinion survey. It highlights the relevance of taking into account the opinion of teachers and students to identify possible areas of improvement. Students suggest that selection of clinical teachers be up to professional interests better than up to their academic curricula. Claim for longer periods of clinical practice and propose to review the teaching guides in order to avoid redundant repetitions in different subjects year after year.
