Abstract: Introduction: scientific publications are considered the final step of a research and are an excellent tool to characterize the scientific output of a university. Objective: to characterize the scientific production of the faculty of the Faculty of Medical Sciences "Miguel Enriquez", based on their scientific publications, in the period 2016-2022. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective, observational, descriptive study was carried out. The universe was constituted by the publications of the faculty professors, grouped by teaching departments. Articles, complete books and chapters, and monographs were included. The publications were analyzed according to the time of dedication of the professor to the teaching activity, and annual indexes of scientific productivity were calculated. Results: a total of 845 scientific publications were counted in a faculty composed of 444 professors from 17 teaching departments. In a quarter of them, the main author was from the Diagnostic Means department. The number of authorships per professor was 1487 during the period, with the Clinical Sciences Department standing out. Most of the works were published in journals indexed in prestigious international databases (Groups I-II), with a predominance of publications by full-time professors. The highest indicators of annual productivity, both per department and per professor, were obtained by the Diagnostic Means and Graduate and Research departments. Professors with a scientific degree and full professors and researchers were the most productive. Conclusions: The analysis of seven years of scientific publications of the faculty of the "Miguel Enriquez" Faculty shows that there is a diminished scientific production, which mainly corresponds to the professors of higher rank or category
