Knowledge originates from discovery and this, in turn, from research. Every day, the humankind faces situations of risk to its health, a reason why research is an essential tool to advance in the field of science, along with creativity and innovation as fundamental pillars to develop scientific competences in higher education institutions. Therefore, the objective of this article was to review the educational strategies that increase students' interest in science. In this respect, we reviewed 61 articles, for which we used the keywords creatividad [creativity], investigación [research], salud [health], and competencias científicas [scientific competences]. From the literature obtained in Hinari, Medline, SciELO, Redalyc and Google Scholar, we chose 26 articles related to the topic. Information analysis permitted to affirm that promotion of scientific research and development of creativity in students entering the health area will undoubtedly serve to encourage the development of future researchers.
