Introduction: Research points to the existence of a gap between medical training and the needs of populations and health systems, by not considering health inequalities in the training process of students, which results in a workforce that is ill-prepared for the challenges of the XXI century. Thus, studies are needed to monitor and evaluate training actions and strategies that can support policy makers, managers and social control in a reorientation of the medical  training model that contributes to equitable, epidemiologically efficient and socially fair health care.
