Aim:
To analyse the image of science, the teaching of it that medicine students, doing their internships at the San Francisco Xavier of Chuquisaca University, have.
Subjects and methods:
The research was made among 101 medicine students that are doing their internships at the hospital system in Sucre, Bolivia. A survey that values the attitudes towards science was applied to them; this is, how they value the image of science and how science is taught throughout their university education.
Results:
It was found that the attitudes among medicine students doing their internships, towards science, are positive; however the praxis of it is still minimal, due to the incipient participations in research projects and publications.
Conclusions.:
The attitudes towards science are positive, however the challenge will be, for the university, to apply and develop the health research policies, this way the social-sanitary indicators will be improved.
