: In recent decades, there has been a reduction in the number of graduates from medical schools who choose to pursue a career in scientific research. That has an impact on the profile of graduates, since medical education depends on understanding the formation of scientific evidence. The construction of new knowledge is also hampered by the reduction of medical scientists, whose clinical experience with patients provides an essential step towards medical Science evolution.
: The present cross-sectional study sought to identify the interest in research among medical students from a federal university in southern Brazil.
: Medical students from a federal university were asked to respond to a self-administered questionnaire that sought to identify the level of knowledge about the importance of scientific research in medical training, and the interest of this population in this element of their training.
: 278 medical students from the first to the sixth year responded to the questionnaire, and 81.7% stated their interest in medical research. However, only 4.7% of respondents considered research as first in degree of importance to their medical training. The variable "interest in research" showed no statistically significant association with age, gender, presence of physicians in the family, or other prior college courses.
: Although interest in research is clearly present among the students, this is still an underexplored element among the population studied. The incorporation of research in the learning process depends on stimulus and guidance until it becomes culturally consolidated as an essential element of the medical training.
近几十年来，选择从事科研事业的医学院毕业生数量有所减少。这对毕业生的构成产生了影响，因为医学教育依赖于对科学证据形成的理解。医学科学家数量的减少也阻碍了新知识的构建，而他们与患者的临床经验是医学科学发展的关键一步。
本横断面研究旨在确定巴西南部一所联邦大学的医学生对科研的兴趣。
一所联邦大学的医学生被要求回答一份自填式问卷，该问卷旨在确定他们对科研在医学培训中的重要性的了解程度，以及该群体对培训中这一要素的兴趣。
278名从一年级到六年级的医学生回答了问卷，81.7%的学生表示对医学研究感兴趣。然而，只有4.7%的受访者认为研究对他们的医学培训至关重要。“对科研的兴趣”这一变量与年龄、性别、家庭中是否有医生或其他先前的大学课程之间没有统计学上的显著关联。
尽管学生们对科研的兴趣明显存在，但在所研究的人群中，这仍是一个未被充分探索的因素。将科研纳入学习过程取决于激励和指导，直到它在文化上被巩固为医学培训的一个基本要素。
