title: [Medical education in Algeria: opinion of the students at the end of their curriculum].
abstract: A cohort of 120 medical stents who have nearly completed their medical training have been surveyed in Oran, Algeria. Most of them are not satisfied concerning their medical training (82%). However, they accept the conventional pattern of medical learning which allows little room to active participation from the trainees. The most appreciated scientific disciplines are cardiology for men and gynecology for women. In most cases, priority is given to clinical disciplines. Community medicine and public health are rather neglected. Similarly, at the end of their training, medical students' knowledge is rather tiny regarding teamwork or health promotion. Clearly, most of them consider themselves as care providers, not health builders.
