Method: Through an online questionnaire, students were asked about the evaluation of the undergraduate surgery course, the limitations encountered during the course, both those perceived by themselves, and the limitations they perceived in teachers. Questions were asked about the total evaluation of the surgery course and the clinical part of the course. Results: 63 students of the subject of surgery were included. The most mentioned limitations of the students were the availability of schedule and teaching material. The most mentioned limitation in relation to the teachers was the lack of technical knowledge. A relationship was found between the evaluation of the course and the interaction between the teacher and the student. Conclusions: The medical education have undergone great changes, especially the clinical part. There are several limitations in this process that can be improved by teachers and students and the perception of the quality of the course is related to the degree of interaction that teachers had with the students. © 2022 Academia Mexicana de Cirugía.
