This study aimed to assessthe knowledge of medical students about the functioning of the pre-hospital emergency medical service (EMS), given the importance of this service to the population and its role in the Unified Health System (SUS). Therefore, first to sixth year students were interviewed using a standardized questionnaire. The conclusion was drawn that even medical students, individuals who are immersed in health, have an unsatisfying level of knowledge about the SAMU, regardless of the stage of their studies, leading us to query the knowledge of the general public about this service and the importance of conducting further studies and making comparisons of nationwide data.
