Background: Almost 30% of investigations done by medical students are published, these values varying between countries. Objectives: To determine the frequency of published theses in biomedical-indexed journals by medical students during the 3 years following their thesis defense oral examination, as well as to explore the related factors with their publication. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. We evaluated theses presented by medical students of Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia during January 2015- May 2018 (n = 207). Publication of theses was assessed by searching in PubMed, SciELO, LILACS and LIPECS. Results: The frequency of published theses was 28.50%. There was a difference in the time it took to publish in a national journal (10 months) in comparison to an international one (23.5 months) (p = 0.01). Most of the publications found in national journals (73.47%) had more student authors than non-students; but there was no difference with international journals. Of the published theses, 27.12% had at least one student author who had previously published. Related factors with publication were the consultant’s publication history, and that the study design were cross-sectional or case series. Conclusions: The scientific production among medical students at UPCH is similar and in some cases better than what is reported in other countries.
