Research Day Highlights and Expanding Horizons in UAG-SOM’s Research Program

The Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara School of Medicine (UAG-SOM) recently hosted Research Day, a significant occasion in the institution's growing research endeavors. With 10 new abstracts presented and a cumulative total of 56 submissions throughout the 2023-2024 academic year, the event showcased the steady momentum driving UAG’s research program. Building on this success, 13 new scientific communications are already in development for the upcoming Research Day, promising continued contributions to medical science.

Expanding UAG-SOM’s Presence on International Platforms
UAG-SOM’s research is making waves beyond the local campus, earning recognition on the global stage. This year, the school participated in prestigious international conferences, including:

6th World Congress on Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, featuring 10 e-posters from UAG researchers.
World Congress of Nephrology, held in Buenos Aires, where four scientific communications were presented.
Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Annual Meeting in Chicago, with two posters showcased during the event from October 5-9, 2024.

These international presentations emphasize UAG’s commitment to impactful research and demonstrate the school’s growing influence in global academic and healthcare communities.

Collaborative Research Partnerships
Collaboration is at the heart of UAG-SOM’s research strategy. The school has developed key partnerships with prestigious institutions, including:

In addition, a new collaboration with the Instituto Cardiovascular de Cirugía de Mínima Invasión (ICMI) is now in place, with three UAG students engaged in important cardiovascular research. These partnerships offer students mentorship and exposure to cutting-edge innovations, fostering their development as future leaders in medicine.

Faculty and Student Involvement in Research
The commitment of UAG faculty plays a crucial role in the program’s success. This year, 12 students—supported by 10 faculty members and the Research Director—are actively engaged in diverse research projects. This increase in participation reflects UAG’s dedication to fostering a research-oriented culture, empowering students to explore new ideas and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of medical knowledge.

Acknowledgments and Looking Forward
Special recognition is extended to Dr. Lucía Álvarez, Director of Research, for her leadership in expanding research opportunities at UAG-SOM, and to Susana Leano, VP for International Affairs, for her continuous support of academic excellence. Their efforts have been instrumental in building an environment where faculty and students can thrive.

Looking ahead, UAG School of Medicine encourages all students to participate in research activities—whether through case studies, literature reviews, or focused projects. Research not only enhances academic portfolios but also builds critical thinking skills essential for future medical careers.

UAG-SOM remains committed to expanding the boundaries of medical education and research, empowering students and faculty to pursue excellence. We are excited to see the continued impact of our community’s efforts in the months to come as we build a brighter future in healthcare and education.
