This evaluation is focused in ALS when and if the students have participated or have observed emergency situations. Results: We interviewed ten students - four masters and six bachelors All students had been approved in the courses. All of them observed and participated in emergency situations. They confirmed the general validity of training and the safety that they felt when participated in emergency situations. Specially all algoritmes are laearned very well and the work ina team was realized as crtic for the success in the field of resuscitation and in emergency room.
