FERNANDEZ, M Ángeles et al. School dropout in Medicine: analysis of three generations. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.6, pp.331-333. Epub Jan 18, 2021. ISSN 2014-9840. https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.236.1094.
Introduction.
For years, school dropout has represented one of the greatest problems that education in Mexico faces, mainly at the higher level and in highly demanding academic degrees such as Medicine.
Subjects and methods.
We carried out a quantitative analysis of three generations enrolled in Medicine Bachelor of the UNAM's School of Medicine in order to compare school dropouts by sex and generation.
Results.
It was observed that the Medicine Bachelor's first year is where the highest percentage of school dropouts (77%) occurs, with a predominance of female population and definitive dropout.
Conclusion.
Medicine Bachelor's student behavior was studied to rethink institutional methods and strategies focused on scholar dropout.
