RAMIREZ DE LA ROCHE, Omar Fernando et al. Working conditions of Mexican undergraduate MD during their social service. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.138, pp.92-107. ISSN 0185-2698.

This article has as purpose to show how a group of undergraduate students of the Faculty of Medicine perceived the working conditions in which they carried out their social service in the year 2009. The authors carried out a scouting study based on a on-line research in which they consulted 814 undergraduate MD; they selected a sample of262 and 52 of the 262 initial questions about working conditions. Amongst the results they show that the undergraduate MD, since they are scholarship holders, were not considered strictly as workers of the healthcare centers, although they worked taking on all the duties and responsibilities of general practitioners. The working conditions were scarce.
