Popis: Objectives: The objective that we intend to reach is to diagnose the motivation that our students of the last semesters of the Dental Surgeon Major of Veracruz-Boca del Río have to continue with postgraduate or specialty studies. Find out causes and factors that arouse this interest of both students of public institutions such as UV and private institutions such as CME and UVM. Methodology: Elaborate questionnaires that address the sociodemographic factors of each one; interviews with a small group of students to learn first-hand what their opinion is about postgraduate studies inside or outside the university, Likert scales to know the attitude of the students regarding the importance of doing postgraduate studies. Contribution: Despite comparing two private universities with a public one, there is no significant difference in terms of motivation to study a postgraduate program. However, it is interesting to know what the study shows the concern of the economic factor, the disinformation they have of the specialties, the little information provided from their respective institutions as well as not giving the necessary importance to be a specialist in a specific area to provide better patient care.
