METHOD: Students of University of the Extreme South of Santa Catarina, (UNESC) were interviewed from the first to the last semester of medical school at college in thefirst week of class and end of semester, usingself-assessment questionnaires. RESULTS: An association was identified between the three dimensions of the Burnout syndrome, mainly in students of phases 3 (16.0%); 6 (12.0%) and 7 (12.0%) of the course, and that the prevalence was 14.4% at the beginning of classes and 20.6% at the end of the semester.
