Aim. To analyse the use of learning strategies according to the learning approaches of the medical students´ (rotating internship) from University of San Francisco Xavier of Chuquisaca (Sucre, Bolivia). Subjects and methods. The research was carried out with 110 rotating interns with the questionnaire ASSIST of Entwistle (1988), which assesses approaches to studying, and ACRA of Román and Gallego (1994) that analyses the preferences in the use of acquisition strategies, coding, recovery and support. Results. The components of search achievements and monitoring effectiveness define the preference for the strategic approach. In the deep is the use of evidences but in the surface approximation is the fear of failure. The deep and strategic approaches present significant correlations with the acquisition strategies such as mental review, repeated review and linear underlined and in the coding with the self-questions, applications and inter content relations. In this approaches there is correlation with all recovery strategies and in the ones with autoinstructions, self-management/planning and self-management/regulation. The superficial approach does not correlate with any coding strategy. Conclusions. In view of the results, a conscious work is required with the aim of improving their learning. It could start with the knowledge of the learner approaches and the endowment of the superficial strategies with a set of strategies that distinguish the deep and strategic.
