ABSTRACT

Objective: to analyze the educational quality of graduates through the following academic indicators: a. Occupational mobility, b. Number and type of scientific publications, c. Publication of chapters or medical literature, d. Postgraduate studies, and e. Certification by the corresponding specialty board. Method: descriptive cross-sectional study. Different databases were reviewed, the following stand out: 1. List of graduates. 2. Registry of the different specialties; National Regulatory Committee of Medical Specialties Councils to know both the certification status, and in the General Management of Professions, belonging to the Ministry of Public Education, the professional certificate status. 3. Index of journal authors (PubMed, Embase, Medline), 4. Databases of medical insurance and health institutions in Mexico and 5. Databases of Postgraduate Degrees in Medicine Results: The academic indicators of 14,770 medical specialists who graduated from the Sub-direction of Medical Specialties of the unam in the last six years were analyzed. The trajectory of the graduates shows a gradual increase in the percentage of board certifications, number of published articles, and postgraduate courses. Nearly 60% of the specialists work in Mexico’s three largest cities. Conclusion: the number of graduated specialists is insufficient in quantity and distribution to cover the health needs of the country. Despite the increase in scientific production, there is still a need to increase the number of research projects, and scientific publications by graduates. It is necessary to rethink medical specialty programs in accordance with health care needs, and the international context.
