Sumario:In medical specialization programs, research activities are considered a part of training which fosters learning, critical thinking, and patient care. From a bioethical perspective, focused on comprehensive health care, this study analyzed the identification of health needs in the population through Integrative Final Projects (IFP) of accredited medical specialization programs. In a sample of 163 IFPs, the aspects that might influence the selection of study variables and the approach to research were examined. Content analysis was used to show both the manifest and latent content of the data, and an exploratory statistical frequency analysis was conducted. It was found that the IFPs primarily focused on biological processes, with no significant differences related to health issues, the context in which they were developed, and/or the research model, which was mainly guided by international literature. From a bioethical perspective, there was little integration of other aspects of health needs, such as social determinants of health, quality of care, and patient satisfaction, which are observable in patient care activities beyond the specific content of the study plan.
