Abstract (EN): Principles of scientific research are rarely integrated in medical curricula in a comprehensive way, despite the global awareness of the need of such education in the full development of medical students. 252 students of the first year of the medical course of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, completed a questionnaire that included 28 items about attitudes towards scientific research and its relevance in the medical curriculum. The results showed that students have good perceptions about scientific research and its integration into the medical curriculum. In addition, these perceptions were linked with research integration, since students with more favorable perceptions about scientific research were the most enthusiastic for its integration. These data have important implications in medical education, not only for our knowledge of current undergraduate awareness of scientific research but also for future implementation of a structured research program, curriculum-integrated.
