Estudo bibliométrico da produção científica brasileira e internacional sobre gênero na educação médica

Abstract

Introduction: In the face of gender stereotypes and patriarchal, structural principles present in the medical curriculum, the National Curriculum Guidelines for medical courses guide the approach of health needs, including gender-related research. Goals: The evolution in gender-related scientific production were verified in three important medical education journals, from the United States of America, Europe and Brazil, considering the possibility of external influence in Brazilian scientific research. Methods: Bibliographic research based on the theory of neobibliometry, using as bibliometric indicators: journal; year of publication; thematic; authorship; incidence of the themes; metodology. Results: similarities in the thematic approach between journals, and delay in research and a low number of original national studies, highlights the possibility of colonization of Brazilian medical research and education; the female protagonism in authorship is evident and growing; nation research must, with originality, create the conditions for the transformation of teaching practices, and curricula, considering the broader view of the role of the university, medical work, and social demands.
