Shaping Tomorrow's Doctors: The Impact of Socioeconomic and Institutional Factors on Medical Education Quality in Brazil: An Ecological Study
This study highlights significant variations in training quality among medical schools nationwide, with the Center-South region showing a higher proportion of institutions achieving high Enade scores compared to more socioeconomically vulnerable regions in Brazil. Institutional characteristics such as well-rated didactic-pedagogical organization, a highly qualified faculty, and public administration are associated with better exam performance.
