In the era of knowledge, and instant knowledge, having scientific journals indexed and available online brings enormous benefits, both for the university community and for the scientific community in general.

         knowledge and the results of original research works freely available to everyone.
      • It is a university journal, related to medical sciences, one of the areas of greatest production at the international level.
      • It publishes quality works of diverse national and international authors.
      • Reached and complied with several national and international standards.

Therefore, in the context of the 50th anniversary of the Ricardo Palma University, we congratulate all the editorial team of the Journal of the Faculty of Human Medicine, led by Dr. Jhony A. De La Cruz Vargas, for the various indexes reached, the most recent in Scielo and LILACS.

Many challenges remain in the future; sustaining oneself and aspiring to new indexations are the next challenges. Ricardo Palma University congratulates itself on these achievements, which are inherent to the vision and mission of our University.
