CARRENO ALMANZAR, Fabián Ramiro. Medical research: the role of the undergraduate students at the universities' scientific quality. Medicas UIS [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.3, pp.57-60. ISSN 0121-0319.

Introduction: Investigative thinking is a part of the integrality of medical reasoning and the concept of university. The low participation of medical students in research can be by a lack of motivation and scientific formation. Objective: to consider the need to encourage the medical research in undergraduate students, the value of scientific medical students associations and the impact in the development and scientific quality of university. Development: the scientific production is a measure of the impact and quality of universities, hence, medical scientific formation must begin from the first levels. The example of students linked to investigative processes can motivate other medical students to do it and the medical students' scientific associations are key in promoting the spirit of research in undergraduate students. Conclusions: the research be should encourage from undergraduate level complementing the integral medical formation. The medical students' scientific associations favor spaces that stimulate research processes. (MÉD. UIS. 2013;26(3):57-60)
