ABSTRACT
Surgical education in pregraduate medicine is important because it is during this period where students acquire abilities that will allow them to make important future decisions when performing surgical procedures. Faculties of medicine make significant efforts to design innovative and rigorous curricula that will provide medical professionals with abilities to carryout medical procedures in a changing panorama of health systems as well as to provide scientific and technological advances. Intellectual and clinical proficiency, discipline, ethics and human values that a student acquires during pregraduate training and education will result in becoming a very efficient health professional.
