description <p><strong>Foundation:</strong> the development of learning-to-learn skills is essential for medical students to ensure their constant self-improvement throughout life.<br /><strong>Objective:</strong> to characterize the current state of the learning-to-learn development skills in medical students.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> the research was developed at the Cienfuegos Medical Sciences University from January 2020 to March 2023, using a mixed research design of the sequential explanatory type. The sample was selected through simple random probabilistic sampling: 255 Medicine degree first-year students, from a universe of 481. To obtain the information, questionnaires, focus groups and observations of teaching activities were used. The processing was carried out using SPSS 26.0 and ATLAS.ti software. <strong><br />Results:</strong> Difficulties were obvious in problem-solving skills, planning learning activities and searching for and processing scientific information, as well as in self-regulation and self-assessment of learning processes, in the perception of emotional control and attribution of meaning to learning.<br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Deficiencies were found in the development of learning-to-learn skills in all their dimensions.</p>
