To find the views of students doing the last year of medicine on the specialty of family and community medicine (FCM).
Cross-sectional study through self-administered questionnaire.
Medical faculties of the Universities of Oviedo and Cantabria.
Sixth-year medical students with possibilities of completing their degrees in the year 2000.Interventions. 22-question multiple-choice questionnaire, including assessment of undergraduate FCM training and view of its inclusion as a subject, choice of specialty in the next residents (MIR) exam, status of FCM, choice of professional to treat common pathologies in primary care, and knowledge of an activity (management of short-term time off) of GPs.
73% of the 94 medical students polled had no theoretical training in FCM, but 89% were in favour of including it in the degree programme. 6% wanted to work as GPs. 77% thought that the status of FCM was comparable to that of other specialties. The rest thought it was inferior, although its status would rise for half of these if the FCM residency lasted 4 years. 50% would not choose FM to treat common pathologies in primary care. 55% identified the GP as the person empowered to issue sick notes for common illness.
Lack of undergraduate training in FCM is the cause of lack of interest in this specialty among medical students, its lack of status and students' lack of knowledge.
了解即将完成医学学业最后一年的学生对家庭与社区医学（FCM）专业的看法。
通过自填问卷进行横断面研究。
奥维耶多大学和坎塔布里亚大学的医学院。
有在2000年完成学业可能性的六年级医学生。干预措施。一份包含22个问题的多项选择题问卷，内容包括对本科FCM培训的评估及其作为一门课程纳入的看法、在下一年住院医师（MIR）考试中的专业选择、FCM的地位、在初级保健中治疗常见病症的专业人员选择以及对全科医生一项活动（短期休假管理）的了解。
在接受调查的94名医学生中，73%没有接受过FCM的理论培训，但89%赞成将其纳入学位课程。6%想成为全科医生。77%认为FCM的地位与其他专业相当。其余人认为其地位较低，不过如果FCM住院医师培训为期4年，其中一半人的看法会改变，认为其地位会提高。50%不会选择FCM来治疗初级保健中的常见病症。55%认为全科医生是有权为常见疾病开具病假条的人员。
本科阶段缺乏FCM培训是医学生对该专业缺乏兴趣、其地位不高以及学生缺乏了解的原因。
