Introduction: the healthcare system seeks to train competent professionals according to the current needs in teaching, assistance and research.
Objective: to characterize the development and implementation of a research course for health science students.
Methods: it was an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study in undergraduate health science students, who took a research course to be taught for nine weeks, structured in three modules. It was taught during two editions (2018 and 2019), to a sample of 17 and 23 students respectively. After its conclusion, a questionnaire was applied to evaluate it.
Results: forty students were enrolled in the course, 82.5% studied medicine. A total of 27.5 % of them were working as assistants or were oriented to the specialty of General Surgery, followed by those interested in Intensive Care (17.5 %). The course resulted in 45 research studies, all of which were presented at scientific conferences and 13.3 % were published in indexed scientific journals. The course was generally rated as "very adequate" (95%) in most indicators, and received an overall rating of "excellent" by 92.5% of the students.
Conclusions: the course favored the development of research skills, and the scientific production increased, where the tutor played an indispensable role, being the driving force and guide of the student, and at the same time, turning the student into his/her reflection.
