dc.description	The purpose of this article is to analyze the attitudes of students towards the theoretical and clinical knowledge and about research as part of the Dentistry Program during their professional training at the Universidad Aut&oacute;noma Metropolitana-Xochimilco. A questionnaire with Likert items was applied to students in order to know their answers about these topics. An X2 test was applied to analyze the homogeneity of answers. Results indicate that students&rsquo; opinions differ on: a) the amount of theoretical content regarding treatment (p &lt; .003), b) some aspects regarding clinical knowledge (p &lt; .006), and c) research options per school year (p &lt; .05). We conclude that it is necessary to study in depth the achievements and limitations of the program proposed by the Universidad Aut&oacute;noma Metropolitana-Xochimilco. El propósito del presente trabajo es analizar las actitudes de los estudiantes frente al conocimiento teórico, clínico y de investigación en el programa de la carrera de Odontología de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco, durante su formación profesional. Se realizó una encuesta para conocer las actitudes de los alumnos y se analizaron las respuestas tipo Likert con la prueba de X2. Se encontró que los estudiantes difieren: a) en su opinión respecto a la cantidad de los contenidos teóricos de tratamiento (p < .003), b) en algunos aspectos del conocimiento clínico (p < .006), y c) en aptitudes para la investigación por año escolar de la carrera (p < .05). Se concluye que existe la necesidad de profundizar los logros y las limitaciones del programa que propone la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco.
