Objective:
To explore the opinions on globalization and medical education of a group of Mexican physicians who are also teachers.
Material And Methods:
This was a descriptive, transversal and prospective study. A self-administrated questionnaire was made, validated and applied. The frequency of answers and its association with certain variables were analysed.
Results:
Most of the participants agreed to define education in quality terms, but not to favor technological aspects over humanistic ones; 40% of the sample disregarded or didn't agree that technical orientation has to do with the globalization process; a third of it didn't know the programs and standards proposed by institutions of higher education.
Conclusions:
There is a diversity of opinions on the influence of globalization on medical education. The highest academic level, time of teaching and research activities are associated with the greatest controversy.
