title: [Profile of psychiatric and psychosomatic symptoms in medical students].
abstract: In this paper the features, pattern profile and frequency of psychiatric and psychosomatic symptomatology of a sample constituted by 40 medical students during the usual academical period--free fron examination--are analyzed. Results suggest that there are no significant differences between the symptomatic patterns of the students of our sample and those belonging to the general population in our context. The Possible role played by stress associated to "examination" in reaching a high level of psychopathology in these students is discussed.
