Abstract

In Mexico, medical training consists of 4 or 5 years of studies on a university campus, one year of undergraduate internship and one year of social service. The undergraduate internship is the theoretical-practical academic portion that takes place in the clinical field and is part of the curriculum of the medical career. Normally, students would expect to be able to choose a hospital with subspecialties or with prestige in their region but no matter the type of hospital, the important thing is their attitude towards their work and education
