This research assumes aims to analyze the perceptions of medical students from a private higher education institution, located in the interior of the State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), regarding substances used for performance. In this study, they are understood as substances, prescribed or not, used for the purpose of improving some cognitive function or mood. We investigated how ideas, values, ongoing professional training, and material conditions of access to medicines and other substances collaborate in the formation of practices for the use of medicines (prescribed or not), supplements and/or vitamins by medical students. The research methodology adopted was composed of two procedures: 1) the application of an online questionnaire to map the therapeutic consumption of performance by the students; 2) semi-structured interviews with students, who voluntarily talked about their experiences of use. Among the results found, there are practices of substance use triggered by students according to their academic or life needs.
