Abstract

The biggest environmental problem affecting the planet today is climate change. This fact means that the doctor, due to his social responsibility, must have an in-depth knowledge of the relationship between environmental problems and their impact on human health, in order to better perform his various functions, including educational ones; as well as to carry out its role in the fulfillment of Life Task. The objective of this work is to evaluate the level of knowledge on the environmental dimension in sixth year students of the Medicine career and residents of General Medicine. A knowledge survey was applied that explored knowledge about concepts, factors and problems related to the environment and its links with health effects. The general result of the questionnaire was 21.88% of approved for the students and 27.59% for the residents, which agree with a low percentage of correct answers in different questions. It is concluded that in both samples there are some cognitive gaps in the environmental sphere.
