Abstract

Submitting a written report of a research proyect, also known as dissertation (or thesis), is one of the requirements established by academic institutions for the student to achieve the degree of specialist in medicine. Preparing the dissertation is not only an academic challenge for postgraduate students and professors; it is also a logistical challenge. Highlighting that effort and the dissertation itself will result in a better attention for the beneficiaries of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.

La presentación del informe escrito de un trabajo de investigación, mejor conocido como tesis, se corresponde con uno de los requisitos que solicitan las instituciones educativas para obtener el grado de especialista en medicina. Su elaboración significa un reto no solo académico, sino logístico para alumnos y profesores del posgrado. Hacer visible este esfuerzo y su producto redundará en una mejor atención a los derechohabientes.
