Objective: To determine the incidence and characteristics of Burnout syndrome in students of the physiotherapy program at the University of Pamplona who are undergoing clinical internships. Methodology: The current research is quantitative, prospective, cross-sectional, and, based on data analysis and scope, it is descriptive and observational. The population consists of students in the Physiotherapy program with active academic enrollment at the University of Pamplona from the sixth to the tenth semester, who are undergoing clinical internships at levels I, II, III, IV, and CAP, respectively, totaling 123 students. The sample size for this study is ninety- four students. Results: For the dimension of exhaustion, 49% of students scored between high and extremely high, with an average of fifteen points, corresponding to an elevated level. This suggests indications of Burnout Syndrome. Regarding the dimension of cynicism, 19% of students scored high, with an average of six points indicating a "medium-high" level, which is an indicative that there are no signs of Burnout Syndrome. As for the dimension of academic efficacy, 19% of participants scored between low and very low, with an average score of 26, representing a "medium-low" level, indicative of no signs of Burnout Syndrome. Conclusion: This research has yielded valuable insights into the incidence and characteristics of Burnout syndrome among physiotherapy students during their clinical internships. The findings may prove beneficial in implementing preventive strategies and emotional support for this specific group of students. Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge the study's limitations, such as the absence of comparisons with similar research conducted in the Colombian context, to fully comprehend the scope of the results and their generalizability.
