Objective. To evaluate the association between the motivations to study medicine and the intention to work in rural areas in medical students from 11 Latin American countries. Methods. Cross-sectional research in 63 medical schools of 11 Latin American Spanish-speaking countries. The intention of rural work at 10 years of graduation and the altruistic and economic motivation was evaluated by means of the MEM-12 scale, comparing the lower tercil with the others. Prevalence ratios were calculated using Poisson regression. Results. There were 4200 participants included in the study, 51,4% were female, 40.6% were between 15 and 19 years old. We found approximately 11.1% of medical students in Latin America intend to work in a rural location. The students in the tertiary superior of economic motivation had lower probability of job intention in rural area (PR = 0.52, CI 95% 0.41 to 0.66), in the multivariate analysis. We found no association between altruistic motivation and job intention in rural areas (PR = 1.28, IC95% 0.88 to 1.85). Conclusion. Medical students in Latin America have a low intention of rural job. We found the economic motivation to study a medical career is negatively associated with the intention to work in rural areas. On the other hand, it is necessary to carry out more studies to explore the association between the altruistic motivation to choose the career of medicine and the intention of rural job in Latin American population
