          Abstract

          RESUMEN Las revistas científicas son uno de los medios de difusión científica más importantes para la ciencia, y su papel en el avance de la medicina es crucial. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar los factores asociados al conocimiento de revistas científicas en estudiantes de medicina de 40 escuelas en Latinoamérica. El diseño realizado fue transversal de análisis de datos secundarios. Se definió el conocimiento de revista científica si el estudiante respondía correctamente al nombre de cualquier revista científica. Se obtuvieron valores p mediante modelos lineales generalizados multinivel de efectos mixtos. De 11 587 participantes, la mediana de edad fue de 21 años y el 53,8 % era del sexo femenino. Solo el 1,4 % reportó conocimiento en revistas científicas. Se asociaron a una mayor frecuencia de conocimiento de revistas científicas la edad en años (RP= 1,06; IC: 95 %: 1,04-1,07); estudiar en universidad privada (RP= 1,50; IC: 95 %: 1,19-1,66); estar afiliado a una sociedad científica (RP= 1,31; IC: 95 %: 1,09-1,56); el grupo de investigación (RP= 1,55; IC: 95 %: 1,24-1,93) y más de 1 grupo extracurricular (RP= 2,02; IC: 95 %: 1,39-2,93), así como reportar nivel de inglés intermedio (RP= 2,12; IC 95 %: 1,68-2,67) y avanzado (RP= 2,12; IC 95 %: 1,65-2,72); la capacitación en la búsqueda bibliográfica (RP= 1,40; IC: 95 %: 1,19-1,66); la base de datos (RP= 1,40; IC 95 %: 1,18-1,52); la lectura crítica (RP= 1,34; IC: 95 %: 1,18-1,52) y los gestores de referencia (RP= 1,32; IC 95 %: 1,16-1,51). Se concluye que el conocimiento de revistas científicas parece incrementarse en estudiantes entrenados en investigación y afiliados a grupos científicos. Se recomienda reforzar las habilidades científicas-académicas esenciales en la formación médica.

          ABSTRACT Scientific journals are among the most important scientific dissemination means, and their role in the advancement of medicine is crucial. The purpose of the study was to determine the factors associated to knowledge about scientific journals among students from 40 Latin American medical schools. The study was based on a cross-sectional secondary data analysis design. Knowledge about scientific journals was defined when the student responded correctly to the name of any scientific journal. P-values were obtained using generalized linear mixed effect multilevel models. Of the total 11 587 participants, 53.8% were female; mean age was 21 years. Only 1.4% reported knowledge about scientific journals. The following variables were associated to greater knowledge about scientific journals: age in years (AR= 1.06; CI 95 %: 1.04-1.07), studying in a private university (AR= 1.50; CI: 95 %: 1.19-1.66); being affiliated to a scientific society (AR= 1.31; CI: 95 %: 1.09-1.56); the research group (AR= 1.55; CI: 95 %: 1.24-1.93) and more than 1 extracurricular group (AR= 2.02; CI: 95 %: 1.39-2.93); as well as reporting an intermediate level in English (AR= 2.12; CI: 95 %: 1.68-2.67); or an advanced level in English (AR= 2.12; CI: 95 %: 1.65-2.72); training in bibliographic search (AR= 1.40; CI: 95 %: 1.19-1.66); the database (AR= 1.40; CI: 95 %: 1.18-1.52); critical reading (AR= 1.34; CI: 95 %: 1.18-1.52) and reference managers (AR= 1.32; CI 95 %: 1.16-1.51). It is concluded that knowledge about scientific journals seems to be greater among students trained in research and affiliated to scientific groups. It is recommended to reinforce the scientific-academic skills essential to medical training.

          The integrated curriculum in medical education: AMEE Guide No. 96.

          The popularity of the term "integrated curriculum" has grown immensely in medical education over the last two decades, but what does this term mean and how do we go about its design, implementation, and evaluation? Definitions and application of the term vary greatly in the literature, spanning from the integration of content within a single lecture to the integration of a medical school's comprehensive curriculum. Taking into account the integrated curriculum's historic and evolving base of knowledge and theory, its support from many national medical education organizations, and the ever-increasing body of published examples, we deem it necessary to present a guide to review and promote further development of the integrated curriculum movement in medical education with an international perspective. We introduce the history and theory behind integration and provide theoretical models alongside published examples of common variations of an integrated curriculum. In addition, we identify three areas of particular need when developing an ideal integrated curriculum, leading us to propose the use of a new, clarified definition of "integrated curriculum", and offer a review of strategies to evaluate the impact of an integrated curriculum on the learner. This Guide is presented to assist educators in the design, implementation, and evaluation of a thoroughly integrated medical school curriculum.

            Medical Student Research: An Integrated Mixed-Methods Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

            Importance Despite the rapidly declining number of physician-investigators, there is no consistent structure within medical education so far for involving medical students in research. Objective To conduct an integrated mixed-methods systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies about medical students' participation in research, and to evaluate the evidence in order to guide policy decision-making regarding this issue. Evidence Review We followed the PRISMA statement guidelines during the preparation of this review and meta-analysis. We searched various databases as well as the bibliographies of the included studies between March 2012 and September 2013. We identified all relevant quantitative and qualitative studies assessing the effect of medical student participation in research, without restrictions regarding study design or publication date. Prespecified outcome-specific quality criteria were used to judge the admission of each quantitative outcome into the meta-analysis. Initial screening of titles and abstracts resulted in the retrieval of 256 articles for full-text assessment. Eventually, 79 articles were included in our study, including eight qualitative studies. An integrated approach was used to combine quantitative and qualitative studies into a single synthesis. Once all included studies were identified, a data-driven thematic analysis was performed. Findings and Conclusions Medical student participation in research is associated with improved short- and long- term scientific productivity, more informed career choices and improved knowledge about-, interest in- and attitudes towards research. Financial worries, gender, having a higher degree (MSc or PhD) before matriculation and perceived competitiveness of the residency of choice are among the factors that affect the engagement of medical students in research and/or their scientific productivity. Intercalated BSc degrees, mandatory graduation theses and curricular research components may help in standardizing research education during medical school.

              A review of literature on medical students and scholarly research: experiences, attitudes, and outcomes.

              The aim of medical student research programs is to develop interest in and competencies related to scholarly research within future physicians. Although schools invest in these programs, there is currently no consensus regarding what benefits they confer. The goal of this review is to characterize students' perceptions of research programs during medical school as well as the outcomes attributed to these programs to provide recommendations for their optimization.
