The importance of strengthening the training of human talent for health research in El Salvador

Abstract

Nevertheless, beyond the intrinsic value of the different types of publications, it is necessary to emphasize that the real engine of scientific progress in our country lies in strengthening specialized training, in this case, in epidemiology and research. That is why the National Institute of Health (INS) plays a transcendental role in this process: to train our future epidemiologists and scientists to face complex health challenges with technical and methodological rigor. Establishing the first non-clinical medical residency in the country is investing in the human talent necessary to create a fertile field for scientific knowledge.
