General Objective: To establish the opinion of students and teachers on the action of teaching in the medical career of the Medical School, School of Nursing, Nutrition and Medical Technology, UMSA. Design Cross section, by enquiry Study Population 619 students and 49 teachers of the medical career Methods and Measurements An instrument was used which was the product of an investigation on the evaluation of teachers in 17 Spanish universities (Lickert questionnaire of 39 items and 8 categories). We worked with an alfa of 0.05. The samples were taken in an accidental manner. The following analysis was made: a. Calculation and comparison of the frequencies of the categories and b. calculation and comparison of the arithmetic average in items and categories, in teachers and students. Results and Conclusions Questions of the Lickert type were made with the following range of measurement: minimal negative value 1, and maximal positive value 5. The following frequencies were found in students and teachers: 1 = 7.02%, 2 = 23.72%, 3 = 46.66%, 4 = 19.84%, 5 = 2.76%. The general average of the two groups was 3.78, the teachers reaching a general value of 4.28 and the students of 2.88. The positive opinion of teachers and students show the agreement with the service rendered, however there exist marked differences between the opinion of students and teachers, which shows that corrective actions need to be made in the categories "fulfillment of obligations" and "practical training". These results are supported by the qualitative part of the study. Two qualitative categories of interest were generated: a. the demand of standardization, the objectives of learning, the time, the forms of teaching, the evaluation, b. the necessity to individualize each teacher, since the great limitation for this study was the generalization.
