The students signed informed consents and answered the ;questionnaire items that included gender, age and the Spanish version of Jefferson Scale of ;Physician Empathy. Results: The mean score of MS was 120.3, with a score of 117.9 by NS score. There were no ;significant differences in scores according to career, among the career stages or age. Female ;students showed higher scores than their male counterparts (120.67 vs. 115.19, P = .02). ; Conclusions: Female students had higher empathy scores compared to males, and there were ;no significant differences according to career course, career stage, or age.
