Objective: To quantify the number of studies that were presented during oral sessions, selected for awards and published from 2002 to 2007 at the Undergraduate Medical Congress of ABC at the ABC Foundation School of Medicine.
Methods: A retrospective systematic survey of papers selected for oral presentation and award at these undergraduate meeting from 2002 to 2007 was carried out by searching Medline and Lilacs databases and the annals of other medical meetings in order to ascertain which papers would eventually be published.
Results: From 2002 to 2007, 408 papers were selected for oral presentation and 71 (17.4%) received at least one award. The total number of papers published was 138 (33.8%), of which 33 (8.1%) were in Medline, 57 (14%) in Lilacs and 48 (11.7%) in the annals of other scientific meetings. Receiving an award by the scientific committee was an independent variable for publication (OR: 2.05 95% CI 1.22-3.46, p = 0.006) as well as for publication in Medline (OR: 2.62 95% CI 1.21 - 5.69, p = 0.01).
Conclusion: The institutional scientific production of undergraduate medical students presented in Undergraduate Medical Meetings is relevant and should continue to be stimulated.
