Searches related to medical topics in databases were obtained by obtaining documents originally written in English. Subsequently, the reading, interpretation and debate of its content was carried out.
Results: the handling of the English language in the students was considerably increased. There was a significant improvement in understanding and writing; the advances in diction being somewhat inferior. Students' abilities to search for scientific articles in engines and search engines with an international scientific impact were also improved.
Conclusions: the applied intervention improved the level of knowledge of medical students in relation to the use and management of the English language in the resolution of clinical cases through the application of the concepts of Evidence-Based Medicine.
