Abstract
Synergies between university teaching and research are essential to promote scientific culture. This is particularly relevant in a society in which knowledge, science and technology walk hand by hand, and therefore, it is up to universities to promote training and qualification, and to develop scientific and technological knowledge that will drain to everyday life, increasing quality demand. At medical schools, where medical research is often considered below expectations [2], early exposure of students to research activities has been pointed out as a way to promote medical research as a relevant career component [3].
