Objective: to assess the extent of satisfaction of the students with their formative process in the Zanzibar Medical School in the 2009-2010 academic year. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in June and July, 2010. The evaluation instruments were designed to be anonymously filled out by the universe of students (n= 38). Results: the highest percentage of students gave the highest qualifications to the various variables of the formative process under evaluation such as quality of teaching activities, quality of their tutors´work, educational literature, academic and administrative structures, organizational and functional aspects of the process, the assessment on evaluations and the general assessment of the process. The main unsatisfactory aspects were inadequate conditions to develop teaching at the community level, non-fulfilment of agreements for some practical classes at the hospital; difficulties in basic teaching literature, lack of a library at the school and shortage of computers. Conclusions: the formative process in the medical school located in Zanzíbar was evaluated by most of students as either very good or good. The fundamental sources for dissatisfaction stemmed from the restricted amount of material resources and the poor coordination with the hospital for giving some practical classes.
