Research objective:To determine the association between age and professional profile of attendees to continuing education courses with the perception of their quality in a third-level hospital. Methods: We conducted an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, including 4,273 attendees through evaluation cards of the course (Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad de Ciudad Victoria, 2013). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS ® program v.21. Results: Female users 76.7% (3,277), average age 24.37 years, nurses 25.4% (1,086), doctors 8.7% (370), social workers 6.0% (258), and other degrees 5.2% (224). Internal users 46.1% (1,969), external 41.0% (1,751), and not specifying origin 12.9% (553). With a good perception of the quality of the courses for 77.5% (3,310) of the users, the evaluation of the teachers was perceived as good by 100% (4,273) of the users. Conclusion: No association was found between age and perceived quality (c 2 : 164.05; p = 0.06), but it was between professional profile and perceived quality (c 2 : 72.78; p = 0.00).
