Undergraduate research in medicine: A summary of the evidence on problems, solutions and outcomes

Surgical research in Colombia part 2: Scientific production of Colombian academic surgeons

“…More surgeons are needed who are more critical of the evidence produced, who can quickly identify gaps and new opportunities to solve problem questions. There is a need to encourage mentoring, and the participation of students who pursue the dream of becoming surgeons [ 2 , 8 ]. There is a need to improve the quality of theses produced by the residents, giving them a prudent time to carry out research, reducing a little the time of assistance load.…”

“…Research is an indicator of progress in the knowledge of a discipline. In medical sciences, it is beneficial in the context of the development of skills for adequate decision making based on high quality evidence in clinical practice, in order to ensure timely attention to the needs of patients and to avoid errors in medical practice to a greater extent [ 1 , 2 ]. As a result, key objectives for global surgery for the year 2030 have been proposed, including achieving greater access to essential and emergency surgical services, a global reduction in the burden of disease [ 3 , 4 ], increasing the promotion of academic surgery [ 5 ], promoting the design of models and strategies that improve outcomes in healthcare practice [ 6 ], among others.…”

Competencias investigativas en estudiantes de Educación Superior: aproximaciones desde estudiantes de Medicina

“…En lo relativo a las competencias profesionales, las percepciones del alumnado mostraron niveles adecuados y medianamente adecuados en conocimientos en investigación científica, dominio tecnológico y actitud ética para la investigación. Dichos resultados son coincidentes a los encontrados por García et al (2018) en una investigación realizada en estudiantes de la carrera de Educación en Perú y Mass-Hernández et al (2022) quienes vinculan la importancia de la formación científica durante el pregrado con adquisición de mayores competencias investigativas, mejores resultados clínicos en el escenario de la atención médica y una considerable producción científica a futuro.…”

Inotropic support in cardiogenic shock: who leads the battle, milrinone or dobutamine?

“…Much of the evidence available from observational studies and clinical trials derives from subgroup analyses and not from specific interventions between these two drugs. Not to mention, evidence-based medicine now takes into account factors such as ethnicity and eco-epidemiology to more closely assess the accuracy of the effect of an intervention [ [45] , [46] , [47] ]. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design and execute prospective studies with a high level of evidence to provide results from low- and middle-income countries in order to analyze the behavior of this particular population.…”
