Education: The Key of SBCCV. Performance of BJCVS, The Facts

Abstract

, the 44 th Congress of the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular (SBCCV) took place in the amazing city of Rio de Janeiro, demonstrating once more the success of this event already consolidated in the Brazilian Cardiovascular Surgery community. Among the traditional activities, we had the Scientific Methodology Course this year, focused primarily for the candidates approved in the first phase of the test to obtain the Specialist Degree in Cardiovascular Surgery. It was not a surprise to see many Cardiovascular Surgeons also interested in the subject matter, present in the classroom. The idea of teaching this course arose from the lack of specific knowledge of our associates when writing their manuscripts to fulfill the exigencies to obtain the Specialist Title. An orientation in basic notions of research, statistics and data analysis seemed to be necessary, giving the authors greater confidence when writing their manuscripts. To our great satisfaction, we can realize that in each edition, a greater adherence and awareness of the importance in master basic rules for quality publications by our authors. This is one of the objectives of the BJCVS, as well as educate, teach and encourage researches in our community. Taking advantage of the Congress, we also had the annual meeting of the Editorial Board of the BJCVS, held on April 21, 2017. Several issues were discussed, following the main motto of the Board: the participation of the BJCVS young team, showing the results achieved in one year of work, which certifies we are on the right track, investing in the youth, sharing actions, and exchanging experiences with the new, with the future. Today, the BJCVS has a team of young collaborators, from the Junior Editor to the team that manages the Blog and our social networks. They could increase the accesses of BJCVS in a short period of time, sharing texts of excellent quality, with varied current subjects, promoting reading and knowledge. The BJCVS, along with the SBCCV, will continue to invest and encourage the education of all associates, academics, residents and
