The research presented, from the use of theoretical, historical-logical, induction-deduction, analysis-synthesis, level methods, is aimed at characterizing the epistemological foundations of the formation of the environmental responsibility competence in students of medicine from education at work. The results are specified in the identification of the limitations in the formation of the referred competence, a conceptual approach is offered in this regard in correspondence with the challenges, relevance, as well as the theoretical supports that favor said process. This organizational form of teaching is reaffirmed as the ideal transversal axis for the environmental training of the medical student and the environmental responsibility competence.
