The educational tendency to focus processes on the student, implies a change in teacher's role, as well as the development of new competences, so research on the subject becomes relevant. With this need in mind, a qualitative study was proposed, in order to know how the students of first year of health careers of Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de La Frontera represent the concept "Good university teacher" using the natural semantic networks technique. The sample were 277 students of careers of Nursing (43), Kinesiology (38), Medicine (53), Nutrition (30), Odontology (57), Midwifery (24) and Medical Technology (32). At analyzing data, the characteristic values of J, M, SAM set, and FMG were found. In the semantic network core three groups of word were identified, corresponding to concepts related to personal value attributes: interpersonal relationships, reliability, and how the teachers develop and face educational praxis. Students give a high value to the development of generic competences and personal attitudes related to how the teachers should be, how teachers should relate to others. For teachers, this means identify them, give them value, and develop them in order to face in a better way the changes in education, so contributing to the integral development of future health professionals.
