ABSTRACT

Introduction. The objective of the investigation is to determine the legal medical implications regarding the legal responsibility of the medical student during his undergraduate internship.
Material and Methods: Research framed within the prospective, descriptive, observational cross-sectional legal medical research during the annual elective period of 2018.
Results: A sample comprised of 66.6% students of the School of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Zulia (LUZ) and 33.3% students of the School of Medicine of the Bolivarian University of Venezuela (UBV) were included. 83.3% were female with an average age of 17 to 26 years. 60% belonged to the last years of their medical course. 100% performed practical medical activities in the hospital. In 90% of the cases there was no subject or any legislation on their legal responsibility; 93.3% were unaware of the legal-deontological framework. 66.6% believe that in case of malpractice they should not be judged the same way as licensed physicians. Regarding the question if there should be a legal regulation on the legal responsibility of the Medical Student, as part of the law of damages in general, 100% consider the need to integrate in the subject of legal medicine a subject on the legal responsibility of the student.
Conclusion: In Venezuela there is no legislation that attributes the legal responsibility to the medical student; it generates a legal vacuum for the administration of justice, although it is true that the medical student does not have real professional responsibility, this is exposed to committing a crime of injury when exercising bad practice.
