          Abstract

          Objetivo. Describir la producción científica de los estudiantes de medicina en las revistas médicas de habla hispana indizadas en SciELO correspondiente al año 2011. Materiales y métodos. Estudio bibliométrico. Se analizaron los artículos originales de las revistas médicas indizadas en SciELO y pertenecientes a países de Latinoamérica de habla hispana correspondiente al año 2011 para determinar la participación estudiantil. Resultados. Se revisaron un total de 99 revistas indizadas en SciELO, correspondientes a 11 países latinoamericanos de habla hispana. El país con mayor número de revistas médicas indizadas en esta base de datos fue Cuba, seguido de Colombia y Chile. Se contabilizaron 2.476 artículos originales correspondientes al año 2011, de los cuales 88 (3,6%) tuvieron entre sus autores a algún estudiante de medicina. Los países que tuvieron más revistas con publicaciones estudiantiles fueron Colombia, Chile y Perú. La facultad con mayor producción científica estudiantil fue la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. En cuatro publicaciones se observó participación de estudiantes de dos o más facultades distintas. No se encontraron artículos con participación de estudiantes de diferentes países. Conclusión. Se halló una escasa participación estudiantil y un bajo nivel de colaboración entre estudiantes de distintas escuelas de medicina. Se recomienda tomar medidas a distintos niveles para incrementar estas cifras, y evaluar periódicamente su evolución.

          Aim. To describe the scientific production of medical students in Spanish-speaking medical journals indexed in SciELO belonging to 2011. Materials and methods. Bibliometric study. We analyzed original articles from medical journals indexed in SciELO and which belonged to Spanish-speaking Latin-American countries belonging to 2011 to determine the student contribution. Results. A total of 99 journals indexed in SciELO were reviewed, all belonging to 11 Latin-American Spanish-speaking countries. The country with the most medical journals indexed in this database was Cuba, followed by Colombia and Chile. We counted 2,476 original articles belonging to 2011, from which 88 (3.6%) had a medical student as an author. The countries which had more journals with student publications were Colombia, Chile and Peru. The faculty with the most scientific student production was the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. In four publications it was observed the participation of students from two or more different faculties. Articles with the participation of students from different countries were not found. Conclusion. A poor student participation was found, and a low level of collaboration between students from different schools of medicine. It is recommended to take measures in different levels to increase these figures, and to periodically evaluate its development.

          The physician-scientist career pipeline in 2005: build it, and they will come.

          Physician-scientists play a unique and critical role in medical research. Nonetheless, a number of trends followed during the 1980s and 1990s revealed that this career pathway was in serious jeopardy. Physician-scientists were declining in number and were getting older. A variety of factors were thought to contribute to this problem, including increasing indebtedness of medical school graduates caused by rapidly rising medical school tuition costs. To evaluate the impact of recently initiated programs from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and several not-for-profit institutions designed to revitalize the physician-scientist career pipeline. We assessed recent trends in the physician-scientist career pipeline using data obtained from the NIH, the American Medical Association, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and other sources. Total numbers of physicians performing research, grant application numbers and success rates for MDs, MD-PhDs, and PhDs at various stages in their careers, interest in research among medical students, medical school tuitions and postgraduate salaries, numbers and composition of applicants for NIH loan repayment programs, and gender distribution of young physician-scientists. The number of physician-scientists in the United States has been in a steady state for the past decade, but funded physician-scientists are significantly older than they were 2 decades ago. However, the study of early career markers over the past 7 to 10 years has demonstrated increasing interest in research careers by medical students, steady growth of the MD-PhD pool, and a new burst of activity in the "late bloomer" pool of MDs (individuals who choose research careers in medical school or in residency training), fueled by loan repayment programs that were created by the NIH in 2002. Several recent trends for more established physician-scientists have also suggested improvement. Although it is too early to assess the impact of these indicators on the long-term career pathway, the recent growth in activity in the physician-scientist career pipeline is an encouraging development. Continued funding of these new programs, coupled with sustained support for physician-scientists committed to the pathway, will be required to maintain these positive trends.

              Contribution of medical student research to the Medline-indexed publications of a German medical faculty.

              Medical students in Germany have to write a research thesis to acquire the title of medical doctor. This study evaluates the contribution of student research to the Medline-indexed publications of a German medical faculty. A 1993-1995 Medline-publication list, on which medical students among authors should be marked, was sent to medical faculty staff of the University of Würzburg, Germany (n = 238). Faculty members responded (106, 45%), 66 were working at a clinic, 26 at a clinic-associated institute and 14 at a basic science institute. Between 1993 and 1995, 1128 Medline-indexed papers were published by these faculty members, who on average supervised 4.5 medical students (n = 477). Medical students were among the authors of 316 (28%) and were the first authors of 88 papers (7.8%). For 66% of medical students their research resulted in a Medline-indexed publication. Medical student research activity can significantly influence the published output of a medical faculty.
