Introduction and objectives: The study of scientific production from academic institutions is an important indicator of their quality. The aim of this study was to analyse the scientific production of the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Trujillo using MEDLINE/PubMed and SCOPUS databases up to June 2016. Material and methods: A literature review was performed using MEDLINE/PubMed and SCOPUS databases. An analysis was made of all articles published up to June 2016, with at least one author affiliated to Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Trujillo or its associated institutions. The following data were collected: type of publication, title, main author, co-authors, corresponding author, area of medicine, publication year, language, journal, and database. Results: A total of 54 articles were indexed (43 in SCOPUS, 39 in PubMed, and 28 in both). Publication types included 15 case reports, 10 letters to the editor and 29 original articles. The articles were published in 21 journals, including 2 Peruvian journals, and 16.7% (9/43) of them were written in English. The Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Trujillo affiliation was used by 39 authors. Conclusion: The scientific production of the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Trujillo indexed in MEDLINE/PubMed and SCOPUS is low. There is a need to establishment collaborative networks and strategies to promote scientific production involving students, teachers, authorities and graduates, and which complement the strategies implemented by CONCYTEC.
