“…The academic surgeon has become the cornerstone of academic surgery today. Their comprehensive education, composed of training in surgical and non-surgical skills, is indispensable to lead the surgical team, residents and students, as well as to guarantee satisfactory results in evidence-based practice 1 – 3 . This has led to an in-depth study of the archetypes and attributes that an academic surgeon should have, highlighting mentoring (inspiring and guiding others), responsible, dynamic and equitable education (sharing knowledge and skills at the highest level), collaborative and relevant research (scientific impact and advancement of the surgical field), surgical innovation (development of real and practical solutions, cost-effective, cost-useful and with a good risk-benefit balance), and evidence-based patient care (improving health and quality of life indicators) 2 , 4 .…”

Introduction: Research training, scientific activity and publications are cornerstones of academic surgery. Knowing the activity and trends of medical students aspiring to become surgeons it allows to identify gaps and skills to be strengthened. Currently, there is no data on the authorship and scientific activity of medical students in surgery in Latin America and Colombia. Methods: A bibliometric cross-sectional study was carried out, in which the Colombian medical journals were reviewed from 2010 to 2020. The articles with topics in general surgery and subspecialties where the authorship of medical students could be identified, were selected. Data on the sociodemographic and scientific characteristics of the authors and their publications were extracted and analyzed. Results: A total of 14 383 articles from 34 Colombian medical journals were reviewed. From 2010 to 2020, 807 articles related to surgery were published in Colombia. The most frequent typology of these articles was original articles (n=298; 37%), followed by case reports (n=222; 28.2%) and reviews (n=137; 17.3%). A total of 132 medical students and 141 authorships and were found, specifically in 9.9% (n=80/807) of these publications, with a higher frequency in original articles (n=32; 40%) and case reports (n=29; 36.2%). Collaboration of students with professors or surgeons was evidenced in 97.5% of the publications. Conclusions: The authorship of Colombian medical students in scientific publications in surgery in Colombian medical journals was low. From 2010 to 2020, student authors were found in 1 out of every 10 publications, mainly in original articles and clinical cases.
