“…Although these specific medical graduation policies offer guidance to develop critical scientific maturity amidst future physicians, previous studies exhibit the need to provide more educational opportunities for research [41][42][43]. Correspondingly, our workshop represents an extracurricular activity to foster research teaching and enable students to detect health system needs from an in-depth perspective.…”

Introduction: Open science is a valuable path to boost the global potential of scientific research by removing barriers for producing, disseminating, and putting science into practice, with the spirit of collaboration, inclusivity and focusing on communities’ rising demands. Open science principles instigate the management of scientific knowledge and the enhancement of abilities such as research, project management, team-building skills, and numerous others, which are essential for medical practice according to international recommendations, although still underexplored by medical schools.Methods: Open science, peer education, student leadership and developing of scientific skills were cornerstones to promote the Training New Research Trainers, the first edition of a national Brazilian student-led online workshop aiming to capacitate medical students in such targeted competencies and abilities through active teaching and learning methodologies.Results: Despite the challenges of online format, as impairment in some dynamics and assessment methods, it improved the access to the event from all Brazilian regions, totaling 409 submissions. Thus, it was necessary to have a previous selection of participants and adjustments in the workshop to assist twice the expected attendants.Discussion and Conclusions: Training New Research Trainers surpassed the national distribution inequalities of research opportunities and resources; mirrored open science bases in terms of access, education and methodology; and showed to be a promising opportunity for students to be protagonists of their learning process and to contribute to future changes in their reality, especially regarding the public health landscape. Improvements and consolidation of the workshop protocol and its expansion through national and international partnerships are the following goals.

“…In this context, the Prof. Antônio Garcia Filho Campus of the Federal University of Sergipe stands out as one of the pioneers in adopting this teaching method in all of its eight courses in the health field 8 . Some studies have already managed to analyze the Scientific Knowledge and Attitude levels in undergraduate and graduate students in the medical field 3,9,10,11 . However, all of these studies only evaluated the target population at a single time.…”

Introdução: A participação em atividades extracurriculares como a pesquisa e extensão permitem o desenvolvimento de habilidades nos estudantes. Entretanto, a literatura relata a existência de barreiras para o desenvolvimento da prática científica na graduação. Estudos anteriores conseguiram avaliar a população alvo apenas em um único momento. Objetivos: Avaliar longitudinalmente os níveis de conhecimento, atitudes e barreiras científicas de estudantes de medicina. Casuística e Métodos: Estudo observacional longitudinal realizado com acadêmicos de medicina do Campus Prof. Antônio Garcia Filho da Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Aplicou-se um questionário a 23 discentes em dois momentos diferentes, 2015 e 2017, possuindo 4 seções: Demográfica, Conhecimento Científico, Atitudes Favoráveis a Prática Científica e Barreiras para vivência Científica. Resultados: No período analisado, ocorreu crescimento de mais de 300% (p < 0,0001) na participação de estudantes em Ligas Acadêmicas, bem como no que diz respeito às suas atitudes científicas (aumento de 21,80%; p < 0,01). Ao avaliar os escores de conhecimento e barreiras científicas não foi observado diferença entre os dois períodos avaliados. Na análise das barreiras isoladamente, no entanto, constatou-se aumento significativo (p < 0,05) da dedicação nas atividades curriculares e falta de familiaridade com estatística, também houve aumento da porcentagem de alunos que não viam aplicação da pesquisa em sua futura profissão. Conclusão: Apesar da melhora das atitudes, houve aumento das barreiras científicas. Sendo assim, percebe-se a necessidade de reduzir as dificuldades encontradas pelos estudantes e estimular ainda mais a prática científica.

“…Medical students participate more in introductory scientific programs when compared to law students (30.8% versus 2.9%). 20 It seems that the medical course encourages students to participate in scientific activities. The same study evidenced that ISP influenced development in the understanding of theoretical and practical scientific concepts over time.…”

Despite major advances in medical research, there is a decline in the number of physician-scientists. It is necessary to stimulate the involvement of MDs in the scientific endeavor. Brazil has a national program which stimulates the participation of undergraduate students, including medical students, in research projects as a regular academic activity. Herewith we analyze the introductory scientific program and the involvement of MDs in research in Brazil. The program to promote early scientific exposure during the undergraduate or medical course has the objective of recognizing students with aptitude for scientific research. Brazilian research groups in the area of medicine show a continuous increase, and the health sciences represent a sizable part of graduate students who receive scientific initiation fellowships. An important part of students who participated in introductory scientific programs continued in scientific activities in graduate programs. This finding supports the importance of basic scientific research in stimulating students to follow a scientific career.
