Educational reforms make emphasis on the competence development-oriented education and thus the universities should implement models that train competent professionals. The objective of this paper was to find out through the graduates' opinions to what extent the stated competencies in the profile were achieved during the formation at university. An instrument with performance indicators in the professional work was used. The graduates were asked to assess the formation received in terms of acquisition of competencies. The category results related to the acquisition of competencies was analyzed, thus considering as desirable that over 75 % of graduates showed high standard achievement. Regarding the medical assistance domain, 16 out of 25 indicators were highly fulfilled by over 75 % of graduates. Four out of six indicators of the research appeared in the same category. The domains called management and education did not have indicators in the desirable range. It was concluded that learning and curricular architecture routes should be reviewed in order to assure the acquisition of all the competencies involved in the profile at desirable level.

Palabras clave : professional competence; performance indicators; graduate evaluation; professional formation.
