| description | <strong>Background</strong>: The present century has been characterized by a predominance of English as the only international language for medicine and science. This statement is supported by the fact that knowledge of this foreign language completes the formation of a well prepared and highly competitive graduate student. <strong>Objective</strong>: To assess the views of medicine students on the study of English as a subject in their course. <strong>Methods</strong>: A cross-sectional descriptive study, conducted during the 2009-2010 academic year that included a sample of 26 medicine students of the University Polyclinic "Fabio Di Celmo". Variables that were considered: the actual need to teach English, students’ major motivations and satisfaction level with the educational process. <strong>Results</strong>: Most students (84.6%) considered it necessary to study English as part of the Medicine career.
