Aim:

To know the opinion of medical students who have performed their rotation by the health center in recent years by analyzing their opinion reflected in the report of the practical stay they perform at the end of their rotation in third and sixth grades.

Subjects and methods:

A documentary analysis of the opinion expressed by medical students in the practical stay report was carried out. A total of 15 reports of Universidad Complutense de Madrid Medical Degree students who have rotated by two health primary care centers from 2011 to 2019.

Results:

Six categories have been identified in which medical students' opinions on their practical rotation in primary care can be grouped: usefulness of rotation for their training; the existence of preconceived ideas on family medicine; the degree of rotation satisfaction; duration of rotation; positive and negative aspects of primary care and family medicine; and relationship with the tutor.

Conclusion:

The medical grade student's opinion of his or her rotations in primary care is very positive about the usefulness and satisfaction with rotations despite their short duration and the existence of negative preconceived ideas about the medicine of family and primary care. Rotation has served to understand the conceptual aspects of primary care and the values of family medicine.
