Objective: To determine the relationship that attitude, motivation and anxiety have with the academic performance in students of the Master´s Program in Medical Sciences of the Universidad César Vallejo, 2017. Materials and methods: A descriptive-correlational cross-sectional study was carried out in 240 students of the Master's Program in Healthcare Administration 2017-I/II that voluntarily answered the IPRI Questionnaire, via e-mail, through the coordinators of the academic offices in Tacna, Huancayo, Ica, Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Abancay and Trujillo. Results: The research showed a higher proportion of students with a good attitude towards the academic content (52.9 %) and learning (54.6 %), and a fair attitude towards social implications (75.8 %) at a national level. The intrinsic and extrinsic motivation showed fair levels (68.3 % and 50.8 %, respectively), while the amotivation levels were low (78.8 %). The anxiety state and features exhibited normal levels (78.8 % and 78.3 %, respectively), and the academic performance was good (55.4 %). Conclusions: There is a significant positive correlation between the dimensions of attitude (towards social implications) and extrinsic motivation regarding the academic performance.
