Introduction. The Universidad Nacional de Colombia (National University of Colombia) is ranked, at a national level, in the first place of the World University Rankings 2016 and its School of Medicine is also among the top institutions according to the Schools of Medicine Rankings in Colombia. In order to obtain this classification several indicators such as scientific production are assessed; in turn, such scientific production is quantified based on the number of articles published in indexed journals. Objective. To review the scientific production by the School of Medicine of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Materials and methods. Cohort study based on the evaluation of the academic production records by the School of Medicine faculty. An exploratory analysis of the data recorded in Sara (data base) module from years 2000 to 2012 was conducted. Results. A total of 8777 scientific products were collected. 44.1% (n=3873) of them were articles. Internal Medicine was the academic department with the highest scientific production. Over a twelve year period there was an average scientific production of one article or less every year per faculty member. Conclusion. The total number of products per department is proportional to the number of their academic publications. Internal Medicine, Public Health, Physiology, Surgery and Pathology are the departments with the highest scientific production.
