ABSTRACT
The university was defined as a knowledge-generating institution with research, innovation and creativity as its first fruits. The SCImago Institutions Rankings takes as a database to Scopus; it shows a ranking of institutions and organizations with productions that exceed the 100 annual academic publications. The Cuban institutions present in this ranking were presented for the year 2015-2017, as well as their indicators. Only the Higher Institute of Medical Sciences in Havana was found in 2015, and appeared again in 2017. However, by 2016 it had not positioned any higher medical education center. It is opposed to this that the training of human resources has had an exponential growth and that there is a scientific potential not only high in number but in quality. The absence of Cuban medical universities was considered multifactorial.REFERENCES
