In Guinea Bissau, the majority of university level professionals are still being trained abroad and most of them do not return to their country. This was a major incentive for creating Guinea Bissau's Medical School. An observational, cross-sectional, analytic study was conducted on the second trimester of 2007 to characterize the socio-demographic, familial and educational profile of medical students, their satisfaction levels, difficulties and expectations concerning the medicine course. A questionnaire was used and a response rate of 63% achieved (81 students). Data was analyzed using SPSS v.17 for descriptive statistics. Students are very committed to their education. They tend to decide to take the medicine course early in their lives and are influenced by their relatives. They choose to be medical doctors because they like it but also for altruistic reasons and the desire to save lives. Although many face financial and material difficulties, they tend to have success in their academic live. They live with their parents, do not have children and some have side jobs to provide for extra income to help with their education. They expect their education to make them good doctors in any part of the world and want to work simultaneously in the public (to serve their country and pay their debt to the State) and in the private sector (to enhance their income). The large majority wants to work in a hospital, in Bissau, and to be a pediatrician or obstetrician. They have unreasonably high expectations concerning their future income as medical doctors.
在几内亚比绍，大多数大学水平的专业人才仍在国外接受培训，而且他们中的大多数人并不回国。这是创建几内亚比绍医学院的一个主要诱因。2007年中期进行了一项观察性、横断面分析研究，以描述医学生的社会人口学、家庭和教育背景、他们的满意度、医学课程方面的困难和期望。使用了一份问卷，获得了63%的回复率（81名学生）。使用SPSS v.17对数据进行描述性统计分析。学生们对自己的学业非常投入。他们往往在早年就决定选择医学课程，并且受到亲属的影响。他们选择成为医生是因为喜欢这个职业，也是出于利他主义原因以及拯救生命的愿望。尽管许多人面临经济和物质困难，但他们在学业上往往取得成功。他们与父母同住，没有孩子，有些人有兼职工作以赚取额外收入来帮助支付学费。他们期望自己接受的教育能让他们在世界任何地方都成为优秀的医生，并希望同时在公共部门（为国家服务并偿还对国家的债务）和私营部门工作（增加收入）。绝大多数人希望在比绍的医院工作，成为儿科医生或产科医生。他们对自己未来作为医生的收入有着不切实际的高期望。
