Summary:The Academic Efficiency (EA) is an assessment indicator whose quantitative dimension reflects qualitative aspects that cover from the quality of the preceding educational systems, the enrolment to higher education policies, up to a wide range of factors that intervene in the teaching-learning process and in the institutional policies to guarantee the students permanence. It is an urgent necessity that the professionals participate with a bigger number of quantitative research works to update and to analyze the main variables that reflect the state of the academic efficiency of the health sciences careers. The authors communicate about the necessity to conceptualize and to apply appropriately the concepts Academic Efficiency (AE), Longitudinal Efficiency (LE) Cross-sectional Efficiency and Average Cross-sectional Efficiency (AC-sE) and they expose some of the limitations frequently made while using them. La Eficiencia Académica es un indicador evaluativo cuya dimensión cuantitativa refleja aspectos cualitativos que van desde la calidad de los sistemas educativos precedentes, las políticas de ingreso a la educación superior, hasta una amplia gama de factores que intervienen en el proceso docente educativo y en las políticas institucionales para garantizar la permanencia de los estudiantes. Urge la necesidad de que los profesionales participen con un mayor número de investigaciones cuantitativas para actualizar y analizar las principales variables que den cuenta del estado del rendimiento académico de las carreras de ciencias de la salud. Los autores comunican acerca de la necesidad de conceptualizar y aplicar adecuadamente los conceptos Eficiencia Académica (EA), Eficiencia Horizontal (EH), Eficiencia Vertical (EV) y Eficiencia Vertical media (EVm) y exponen algunas de las limitaciones en que se incurre con su uso.
