Medical students of the first three years are the main entrants in the Urgency and Emergency Medicine Academic League

Abstract

The Urgency and Emergency Medicine Academic League (LAMURGEM) is a nonprofit entity that studies surgical and clinical emergencies and develops activities in this area. However, there aren’t any studies that evaluate the profile of entering students in this league and the factors that lead them to this choice. This investigation depicts the pattern of inscribed and entering students in LAMURGEM, comparing the results with other literature findings. This is a retrospective observational study involving the analysis of thirty-eight students inscribed in the selection test for entering in LAMURGEM in 2016.  The profile of inscribed and entering students was analyzed according to the graduation period. One hundred percent (100%) of the inscribed students were between the second and sixth semester of medical course, and the number of inscribed students in the selection process progressively reduced over the semesters. This paper shows that students of the initial periods are the majority of entering students in LAMURGEM, confirming the results discussed in the literature.
