Background: Learning research skills should be a goal during undergraduate
training of physicians. Aim: To identify Latin American
medical students’ appraisal on research skills university training. Material
and Methods: A self-administered survey about experience in research,
self-assessment of research skills, quality of training in the area received
at the university and that importance of publishing as undergraduate
students, was answered by 208 medical students aged 23 ± 3 years (54%
male), attending a medical students congress. Results: Seventy percent
of respondents pertained to medical students’ scientific societies and 34%
had published in a scientific journal. Fifty two percent considered as good
or very good the training level received at their universities on information
retrieval and 45% considered good the training in research methodology.
Thirty two percent considered as poor or none the training received in
scientific writing and 37% in the publishing process. Eighty nine percent
considered student publishing as important and 61% perceived limitations
in this matter. Conclusions: The university training level received
by Latin American medical students on research and publication process
was evaluated as deficient by these students
