Abstract

Background: In higher education institutions, the analysis of academic trajectories is key to evaluating training, which can generate interventions to promote regularity and improve terminal efficiency.

Objective: To analyze the differences in the academic trajectories of the student body of the 2001 to 2018 generations of the medical degree at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

Material and methods: A longitudinal comparative study was conducted with 18,739 UNAM Faculty of Medicine students, integrated by real cohorts from 2001 to 2018. Survival functions were adjusted with the KaplanMeier method and a Cox proportional hazards model was adjusted to evaluate the effect of sex and high school of origin. Failure in first-year students was also analyzed.

Results: The study demonstrated that sex and baccalaureate history are variables that impact failure and consequently regularity and terminal efficiency.

Conclusions: Due to a lower failure rate, there is a higher regularity and terminal efficiency in men compared to women, and in those that were admitted from external baccalaureates or the National Preparatory School, compared to those from the College of Sciences and Humanities.

学业轨迹作为识别影响医学生规律性因素的工具。

背景：在高等教育机构中，学术轨迹分析是评估培训的关键，它可以产生促进规律性和提高终端效率的干预措施。目的：分析墨西哥国立自治大学（UNAM） 2001年至2018年医学学位学生群体学术轨迹的差异。材料和方法：对2001年至2018年的18739名墨西哥国立交通大学医学院学生进行了纵向比较研究，并纳入了真实队列。采用KaplanMeier法调整生存函数，采用Cox比例风险模型调整性别和高中出身对生存函数的影响。对一年级学生的失败也进行了分析。结果：研究表明，性别和学士学位历史是影响失败的变量，从而影响规律性和最终效率。结论：由于不合格率较低，男性比女性有更高的规律性和最终效率，而那些从外部学士学位或国家预科学校录取的人比从科学和人文学院录取的人有更高的规律性和最终效率。
