RESULTS: Participation in course organized by the faculty is 62%. Ninety-three percent of students are enrolled in private lessons to prepare the national examination competition. Eighty-one percent of students believe that teaching private courses is better than the courses offered by the faculty. Sixty-two percent of students consider a medium (Internet or CD-ROM). Quality could replace traditional media's theory of education. Ninety percent of students use as a main working the same book sold in commerce. Among them, 98.2% considered that the external training is useful in the preparation of the national examination competition. DISCUSSION: It seems that teaching traditional academic lectures of gynaecology and obstetrics is not the preferred method of teaching students in 5th year of medicine.
