The sample has been characterized according to the sociodemographic variables, and compared between the different degrees. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational design research was carried out during the 2018/2019 year. The sample was composed of 134 students, to these a questionnaire was applied, previously validated. Closed questions were processed by Statgraphics Staturion XVI statistical package. As for open questions, the Atlas.ti version 8 software program has been used for qualitative and categorical analysis of textual data. It has been observed that mostly clinical tutors are organized in their activities, punctual and are available for student care. In general, it has been the Nursing students who have obtained the best scores in the different variables (except for two), while the Physiotherapy students obtained lower scores in the different variables, except for four, in which the Podiatry students showed lower scores. Significant differences were detected among students' opinions based on the degree of origin.
