The Revista Médica Universitaria features the following sections:
HISTORY OF MEDICINE
Historical notes on any aspect of medicine and its key figures.
REVIEW ARTICLES (LITERATURE REVIEWS)
Updates on clinical, pathophysiological, pharmacological, or epidemiological topics that are deemed relevant to medical practice.
ORIGINAL ARTICLES (UNPUBLISHED RESEARCH)
Original research not previously published (except as abstracts for conference presentations) and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
CLINICAL CASES – MAKE YOUR DIAGNOSIS – CASE CONFERENCES – MINI CASES
Clinical Cases: Detailed case presentations followed by diagnostic evaluations. The case should be of interest due to a novel clinical or diagnostic concept, an unusual association, or a new perspective on a lesser-known condition. A brief literature review may be included.
Make Your Diagnosis: Cases presented in a format that invites the reader to make a presumptive diagnosis, with the final resolution provided at the end. These may start with an image or clinical photograph.
Case Conferences (Ateneos): Presentation of one or more clinically relevant patient cases, structured as a hospital-based case conference. Includes multiple expert opinions and a brief literature review.
CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION
Articles addressing medical education at undergraduate or postgraduate levels, including methodological, technical, practical, and ethical issues. Topics may involve legislation, deontology, professional values, informed consent, healthcare provider-patient relationships, professionalism, and contributions from other health and education-related disciplines.
IMAGES IN MEDICINE
Images of clinical or diagnostic interest, especially those with unusual or atypical features. A concise case description and a brief literature review should accompany each image.
NARRATIVE MEDICINE
This section features personal experiences, short essays, reflective stories, and other narrative pieces that offer insight into the human side of medicine.
GREAT FIGURES IN ARGENTINE MEDICINE
Profiles of outstanding individuals whose contributions and personal virtues—such as service, dedication, altruism, and compassion—serve as models for the next generation of healthcare professionals.
