Abstract
University social responsibility is an educational policy of awareness of the academic impacts of university students in society, which are essential for the growth of education and the reinforcement of social structures. The objective of this study was assessing the perception that students, academic personnel, directive, and head teachers have regarding social responsibility and determine its relationship with the vision, mission and medical education. A cross-sectional correlational study was carried out by applying a questionnaire. The aspects of social responsibility most perceived by students, academic academic personnel, directive, and head teachers were determined, significant differences in social responsibility were established in these four groups and significant relationships were observed with the aspects of vision, mission and most perceived medical education. Despite the fact that none of the investigations is capable of objectively measuring social responsibility, the measurement of the most perceived aspects of it allows assessing the direction that is taken in knowledge, in order to influence educational reforms, implementation of subjects and social responsibility programs. This research contributes to the state of knowledge about social responsibility and its relationship with the vision, mission and medical training by demonstrating that the perception of social responsibility affects the concept of medical education regarding the mission and vision of the faculty.
