It becomes necessary to arise interest towards the construction of a more human public accountant, in which those who regulate, study and practice it, have concerns on health issues, and not only in what happens inside the companies. This research project aims towards identifying the impact that working while studying has over the mental and physical health of public accounting students from different universities across the metropolitan area of Medellin. For this, the third version of the stress evaluation questionnaire designed by the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, endorsed by the Social Protection ministry of Colombia was used. This survey was applied in eighty three (83) workers-students in public and private universities, conducting a univariate and bivariate statistics analysis under statistical tests, such as chi-square an estimate OR. The confidence was established through Cronbach's Alpha statistic test (results: 0.86). Finally, it is concluded that studying and working in the accounting department produces health problems when the student/worker are exceeded both physically and intellectually in their performance. It was also found that such excesses initially cause high levels of stress, which could trigger different health problems
