ABSTRACT

Background: personalized medicine integrates the data of the omic technologies with the set of clinical data of the patient for a care adapted to their individual characteristics.
Objective: to explore the knowledge and opinions of second-year students of the medical degree in relation to omic technologies and personalized medicine.
Methods: an exploratory, quantitative study was carried out at Las Tunas University of Medical Sciences during the second semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. Theoretical methods for the foundation were applied: analysis-synthesis, and inductive-deductive; among the empirical ones a knowledge test and a survey in questionnaire form for the collection of the information; and descriptive statistics for values in figures.
Results: 17.2% of the students correctly defined what the genome edition is, and 10.3% did it for the sequence. Only one could mention a drug with pharmacogenetic implications. None reported knowing about biological databases or laws regulating studies of the human genome. Medical Genetics was the subject that gave the most treatment to the contents related to these topics. The majority of the students were in favor of genome manipulation to treat diseases and report findings that are related to health.
Conclusions: the low level of knowledge on omic technologies and personalized medicine in second year students of Medicine was confirmed.
