This article is a descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional study to assess the opinion of residents regarding respect for their rights to education and decent work from April to May 2021. We include variables, such as age, gender, year of residence, specialty, as well as the survey results. Descriptive statistics were applied, as well as Pearson’s χ². Results: The answer was 64, age 28.1 years, men 57.9, first year 37.2, second 32.2, third 14.9, fourth 15.7 by specialty Anesthesiology 19, Cardiology 6.6, Medicine of the critically ill 0.8, Internal Medicine 18.2, Nephrology 0.8, Ophthalmology 8.3, Otolaryngology 5.8, Radiology and imaging 19.8, Traumatology 18.2, Urology 2.5 In 70.8 of the respondents, they perceive that their rights to education are favorable They are at a high and very high level, in relation to favorable decent work, 64.2 perceive it as high and very high. Traumatology described the lowest levels in both dimensions; however, no significant difference was found between all specialties when applying Pearson’s χ² with a value of p = 0.8498 (p = 0.05). Conclusion: Slightly more than three out of four of our respondents believe that in general their rights to education and decent work are at high to very high levels of respect. Traumatology represented the specialty with low to very low levels of perception. The overload reflects the effect on their social, family and academic life.
