XIV International SOBRADPEC Congress and Translational Research Forum. Effective and interconnected participation of undergraduates and postgraduates in scientific investigation.

we commented about the characteristics of the XIV International SOBRADPEC Congress and Translational Research Forum and regarding the approach to translational surgery and its insertion in current medical education as a generator of medical knowledge, as well as its importance in the teaching and learning process for both students and professors of medicine. In the present editorial, we shall now present some considerations regarding the profile of the authors of full papers published in these supplements of the XIV International SOBRADPEC Congress and Translational Research Forum chaired by Prof. Dr. Lydia Masako Ferreira, full professor of Escola Paulista de Medicina-UNIFESP. Thirty-eight full papers submitted by the authors were selected for this congress for publication in the three supplements of Acta Cirurgica Brasileira, as well as 150 abstracts to be presented during the Event as posters or as oral presentations and to be published in the annals of the congress.As shown in Figure 1, an initial analysis of the 38 original full papers selected for the supplements shows that 51% of the authors are professors of medicine, 21% are postgraduate students, 12% are undergraduate students, and only 2% are medical residents. The participation of undergraduates in scientific investigations is striking and leads us to reflect about the real interest of students in starting to work in research in a professional manner under the guidance of a professor of medicine as an adviser. Most of these students actively participated in the composition of the articles from data collection to the final writing, a fact that fully justifies their authorship or co-authorship, with merit. In addition, integration was observed between undergraduate and postgraduate students, as demonstrated by the distribution of the authors of the articles (Figure 1).Regarding sex distribution, it can be seen that there was a clear prevalence of females among the undergraduates, whereas males significantly prevailed among the residents, with a six to one proportion. In contrast, the proportion of males and females was similar among postgraduates and professors, (Figure 2). This observation agrees with the literature, which shows that the number of women entering medicine in Brazil has been higher than the number of men since 2009
