Introduction:

As part of the curricular feedback program of the Medical Education Unit of the Medical School of the University of Antofagasta, a survey was applied to the recently graduated cohort of surgeons corresponding to the year 2018.

Aim:

To know their perception regarding the fulfillment of the curricular objectives of the study plan of the medicine career.

Subjects and methods:

Quantitative-descriptive study, which considered a census of the graduates of the 2018 period approved in the Single National Examination of Medicine Knowledge. The instrument measured the degrees of agreement and disagreement with respect to the curricular objectives (statements) set out in the study plan of the degree.

Results:

The curricular objectives on biopsychosocial training, respect for the dignity of people, training in prevention and health promotion, training of a professional with an ethical sense, obtain a high number of frequencies, concentrated in degrees of agreement. Higher negative frequencies (although not majority) are seen in two curricular objectives: biopsychosocial training and prevention and promotion in health.

Conclusions:

There is a positive assessment of the fulfillment of the curricular objectives of the study plan of the medicine career, however, those that obtain higher absolute frequencies in degrees of disagreement should be reinforced, through activities that reveal biopsychosocial aspects in training.
