Objective: to analyze the factors associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression among interprofessional students at Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte. Self-perception of learning and satisfaction were also analyzed. Methods: cross-sectional study that analyzed the factors associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression estimated by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). At the end of the internship, the perception of achievement of learning objectives and the student’s experience were analyzed using the Net Promoter Score (NPS). Results: among the 92 students analyzed, 22 (23,9%) had high scores for anxiety symptoms and 26 (28,3%) for depressive symptoms. The frequency of anxious symptoms was higher among pharmacy students when compared to medicine or nursing students (42.9%, 28.9%, 9.7%, respectively, p=0.035). Anxiety symptoms were less frequent among students who always had access to personal protective equipment (PPE) when compared to the others (17.7% vs. 36.7%; p=0.046). Students who had symptoms of Covid-19, when compared to the others, had a higher frequency of anxiety (44.1% vs. 12.1%; p=0.001) and depressive symptoms (41.2% vs. 20.7%; p =0.035). Caring for Covid-19 patients was not associated with depression or anxiety. There was a high level of perception of achievement of learning objectives, higher among nursing students. Overall NPS score was 70, with a higher frequency of promoters among nursing students (90%), when compared to those in pharmacy (67%) or medicine (62%). Conclusion: anxiety symptoms were associated with the professional category, access to PPE, and previous history of Covid-19. The perception of achievement of learning objectives was high and the NPS score was satisfactory, with more promoters among nursing students.
