  • Title: [The scientific work of students: its role in the formation of health professionals].
    Author: Amador M, Fernández-Britto JE, Valido S, Peña M.
    Journal: Educ Med Salud; 1984; 18(4):344-58. PubMed ID: 6519006.
    Abstract:
    This article describes the results of 16 years of experience in the scientific development of students of the medical sciences in Cuba, particularly those of the old Faculty of Medicine of Havana University, today the Superior Institute of Medical Sciences. It describes the different intra- and extracurricular forms that this activity can take, with emphasis on the favorable experience built up in the so-called Scientific Working Groups associated with the research projects of faculty members. The article highlights the educational effect of this practice and the need to make it a required and evaluated activity on the curriculum and at the same time that it be given moral and material encouragement. In view of the demands imposed by the scientific and technical revolution, it is felt that scientific work contributes to the development of abilities, attitudes and aptitudes for creative work and for the acquisition of knowledge needed by every university graduate, and is also useful in the selection of future researchers and teachers. The article also underscores the part played by student organizations in the successful conduct of scientific work by students and in its disclosure through their periodical.
