Introduction: research training and competence during undergraduate studies is a felt need in the modern university.
Objective: to characterize the self-perception of research skills by members of student scientific groups in three Cuban medical universities.
Method: observational, descriptive and transversal study of members of student scientific groups of the Universities of Medical Sciences of the provinces of Pinar del Río, Cienfuegos and Holguín, between January and March 2020. The population was constituted by 74 students. Descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-Wallis test for ordinal variables were used.
Results: the most affected skills were identified as the selection and application of statistical methods (inadequate = 39,19 %) and the selection, elaboration and application of methods, techniques and instruments (inadequate = 27,03 %). The 71,62 % perceived as inadequate their skills in the handling of editorial management systems and 66,22 % in the use of reference managers. An association (p<0,05) was found between research skills and academic year. An association was found between the skills in the handling of information and communication technologies and the use of statistical programs and the exposition of results through multimedia with the academic year (p<0,01).
Conclusions: there is a perceived deficit among students in their research skills and in the handling of information and communication technologies, mainly focused on statistics, statistical systems and reference managers, as well as in the selection and elaboration of methods and the presentation of information.
