OBJETIVO: Caracterizar o perfil profissional e a produção científica dos bolsistas do Programa de Produtividade em Pesquisa da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo baseado na análise de dados públicos disponíveis na Plataforma Lattes. Os bolsistas de produtividade em pesquisa foram apurados com base nos resultados dos editais de 2013, 2016 e 2019. RESULTADOS: A análise das variáveis evidenciou diminuição do número de docentes bolsistas da instituição, que passou de 34 para 29. Observamos um número significativamente maior de projetos financiados por profissionais do sexo masculino quando comparados às pesquisadoras (p=0,03) e uma forte correlação entre os anos de doutorado e o número de doutores orientados que atualmente se dedicam à pesquisa. CONCLUSÃO: Professores pesquisadores exercem impacto direto na formação de recursos humanos qualificados e na formação de recursos humanos qualificados e na internacionalização das universidades públicas.
INTRODUCTION: Mentoring through scientific initiation and post-graduate programs are an essential instrument on the formation of human resources and the perpetuation of national scientific production. The role of research professors in the proper scientific development of graduate and post-graduate medical students has been continuously reaffirmed in several surveys on the quality of Brazilian superior education, despite the continuous desvalorization of higher education in the country. Determine the career and profile of research productivity fellows could measure the impact of these professionals in teaching, researching and internationalization of our university. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the professional profile and scientific production of the Productivity in Research Program fellows from the Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. METHODS: This descriptive study is based on the analysis of public data available at Lattes Platform. Research productivity fellows were determined based on the results of the 2013, 2016 and 2019 calls for tenders. RESULTS: Analysis of the variables showed a decrease in the number of professors with scholarships at the institution, which went from 34 to 29. We observed a significantly higher number of funded projects of male professionals when compared to female researchers (p=0.03) and a strong correlation between years of doctorate degree and the number of mentored doctors currently dedicating to research. CONCLUSION: Experient research professors exert direct impact on the formation of qualified human resources and the internationalization of the federal university.

Introducción: El aprovechamiento de los cursos de ciencias básicas puede depender de las percepciones estudiantiles sobre la importancia de estos en su vida profesional, por lo que se hace necesario determinar el grado de importancia que los estudiantes le confieren a este tipo de cursos. Materiales y métodos: Se presentó un cuestionario con 9 declaraciones a 54 estudiantes de odontología y medicina. Las respuestas se pasaron a una escala numérica para su análisis. Se usó una prueba de U de Mann-Whitney con el fin de evaluar diferencias entre estudiantes de ambas facultades. Resultados: Los estudiantes en conjunto mostraron tener una buena opinión de la importancia de las ciencias básicas en la práctica clínica. Se observó también que es mayor la proporción de estudiantes de odontología que consideran que la investigación básica no es útil para su práctica clínica. Conclusión: Los estudiantes consideran las ciencias básicas necesarias para un buen desempeño profesional.
Introduction: The benefit of basic science courses may depend on students' perceptions of the importance of these courses in their professional life, therefore, it's necessary to determine the degree of importance that students give to this type of courses. Materials and methods: A questionnaire with 9 statements was presented to 54 dental and medical students. The responses were converted to a numerical scale for analysis. Using a Mann-Whitney U test, differences between students from both faculties were evaluated. Results: The students showed a good opinion of the importance of basic sciences in clinical practice. It was also observed that the proportion of dental students who consider that basic research is not useful for their clinical practice is higher. Conclusion: Students consider the basic sciences necessary for good professional performance.

Introducción El razonamiento clínico es una habilidad que engloba el pensamiento para la toma de decisiones, sin embargo, los factores que favorecen su desarrollo no han sido ampliamente explorados. Se ha descrito que los estilos de pensamiento varían en función del aumento del conocimiento, por lo que es relevante conocer la relación entre ambos para entender mejor el proceso de aprendizaje en enfermería. El objetivo fue analizar la relación entre estilo de pensamiento y nivel de razonamiento clínico en estudiantes de licenciatura en enfermería. Metodología Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, correlacional, prospectivo. Participaron 126 alumnos del último año de la licenciatura en enfermería, el muestreo fue no probabilístico. Se aplicaron dos instrumentos: "Identificación de estilos de pensamiento" con análisis de los estilos de pensamiento: Monárquico, Jerárquico, Anárquico y Oligárquico, y el de "Habilidades de razonamiento clínico" con la identificación de tres niveles: Bajo, Medio y Alto. Resultados En el 75% predomina el estilo de pensamiento Jerárquico, 65% tuvo un nivel medio de razonamiento clínico. La relación entre ambas variables tuvo un valor de p= 0.026 lo cual indica que existe una diferencia significativa. Discusión y conclusiones De acuerdo con lo encontrado, predomina el estilo de pensamiento jerárquico conforme transcurre la educación universitaria, lo que favorece que el razonamiento clínico se base en lo aprendido dentro de la institución educativa. No existen estudios previos que engloben ambas variables, por lo que se sugiere continuar con el estudio de este binomio, incluyendo estudiantes de diversos semestres de la licenciatura.
Introduction Clinical reasoning is a skill that encompasses decision-making thinking; however, the factors that favor its development have not been widely explored. It has been described that thinking styles vary according to the increase in knowledge, so it is relevant to know the relationship between both in order to better understand the learning process in nursing. The objective was to analyze the relationship between thinking style and level of clinical reasoning in undergraduate nursing students. Methodology A quantitative, correlational, prospective study was conducted. A total of 126 final year nursing students participated in the study, the sampling was non-probabilistic. Two instruments were applied: "Identification of thinking styles" with analysis of thinking styles: Monarchical, Hierarchical, Anarchical and Oligarchical, and "Clinical reasoning skills" with the identification of three levels: Low, Medium and High. Results In 75% the Hierarchical thinking style predominates, 65% had a medium level of clinical reasoning. The relationship between both variables had a value of p= 0.026 which indicates that there is a significant difference. Discussion and conclusions According to the findings, the hierarchical style of thinking predominates as university education progresses, which favors clinical reasoning based on what has been learned within the educational institution. There are no previous studies that include both variables, so it is suggested to continue with the study of this binomial, including students from different semesters of the bachelor's degree.
Introdução O raciocínio clínico é uma competência que engloba o pensamento para a tomada de decisão, no entanto, os factores que favorecem o seu desenvolvimento não têm sido amplamente explorados. Tem sido descrito que os estilos de pensamento variam de acordo com o aumento do conhecimento, pelo que é relevante conhecer a relação entre ambos para melhor compreender o processo de aprendizagem em enfermagem. O objetivo foi analisar a relação entre o estilo de pensamento e o nível de raciocínio clínico em estudantes de licenciatura em enfermagem. Metodologia Foi realizado um estudo prospetivo, quantitativo, correlacional e prospetivo. Participaram no estudo 126 estudantes finalistas de enfermagem, com amostragem não probabilística. Foram aplicados dois instrumentos: "Identificação dos estilos de pensamento" com análise dos estilos de pensamento: Monárquico, Hierárquico, Anárquico e Oligárquico, e "Competências de raciocínio clínico" com a identificação de três níveis: Baixo, Médio e Alto. Resultados Em 75% predomina o estilo de pensamento Hierárquico, 65% tem um nível médio de raciocínio clínico. A relação entre ambas as variáveis teve um valor de p= 0,026 o que indica que existe uma diferença significativa. Discussão e conclusões De acordo com os resultados obtidos, o estilo de pensamento hierárquico predomina à medida que se avança na formação universitária, o que favorece o raciocínio clínico baseado no que foi aprendido dentro da instituição de ensino. Não existem estudos anteriores que incluam ambas as variáveis, pelo que se sugere a continuação do estudo deste binómio, incluindo estudantes de diferentes semestres da licenciatura.

Introducción: El Movimiento de Alumnos Ayudantes "Frank País" constituye una valiosa cantera de investigadores. Sin embargo, estas potencialidades no siempre generan tal resultado, lo cual torna necesario monitorizar sistemáticamente dicha actividad. Objetivo: Caracterizar la actividad investigativa de los alumnos ayudantes en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas "Victoria de Girón". Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, en una muestra probabilística estratificada de 131 sujetos. El análisis estadístico fue descriptivo. Se empleó la prueba ji al cuadrado de Pearson y el coeficiente V de Cramer. Resultados: Los estudiantes en el quinto año académico, de las 12 habilidades investigativas exploradas, en 8 alcanzaron las mayores cifras en cuanto a los que expresaron dominarlas. El área clínica fue la de principal interés investigativo (50,4 %); esta variable se asoció con el tipo de especialidad de la ayudantía (p < 0,001; V = 0,710). El 53,4 % de los educandos refirió estar vinculado a la investigación científica, lo cual presentó asociación estadística (p < 0,001; 0,6 ≤ V < 0,8) con las variables: antigüedad en el movimiento de alumnos ayudantes, autopercepción de su importancia en la formación profesional, la autoevaluación de la preparación en ella, incorporación a un proyecto de investigación, pertenencia al Grupo Científico Estudiantil e interés por practicarla en el posgrado. Pocos se encontraban vinculados a proyectos de investigación (n = 22), al Grupo Científico Estudiantil (n = 37) y a la publicación científica (n = 22). Conclusiones: En los alumnos ayudantes de esta facultad se observa una insuficiente actividad en investigación científica.
Introduction: "Frank País" Student Teachers Movement is a valuable pool of researchers. However, these potentialities do not always produce such outcomes; therefore, systematic monitoring of this activity is necessary. Objective: To characterize the research activity of student teachers at Facultad de Ciencias Médicas "Victoria de Girón". Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with a stratified probabilistic sample of 131 subjects. The statistical analysis was descriptive. Pearson's chi-squared test and Cramer's V coefficient were used. Results: Of the 12 explored research skills, fifth academic year students expressed that they mastered 8 of them, in which they reached the highest figures. The clinical area received the main interest in research (50.4 %); this variable was associated with the type of specialty of the student teachers (p<0.001; V=0.710). 53.4 % of the students reported that they were involved in scientific research, a condition statistically associated (p<0.001; 0.6≤V<0.8) with the variables service time in the student teachers movement, perception of its importance in self-professional training, self-assessment of training for it, recent involvement into a research project, membership in the students' scientific group, and interest in practicing the specialty during the postgraduate stage. Few of them were involved in research projects (n=22), the students' scientific group (n=37), or participated in scientific publication (n=22).

A graduação é um momento de transição na vida dos jovens, da vida estudantil à profissional. Por ser um ob-jeto repleto de afetos, práticas, inserido dentro de uma instituição e ligado ao quotidiano dos estudantes, a graduação é pensada de forma contextualizada. Buscamos estudar a representação social da graduação, dentro da abordagem estrutural, em três diferentes contextos de pensamento: descritivo, normativo e prático. O estudo contou com 340 estudantes de psicologia de três universidades públicas do sudeste do Brasil, que responderam a um questionário contendo os esquemas cognitivos de base e a técnica das escolhas sucessivas por blocos. Os dados dos esquemas cognitivos de base (scb) foram analisados com os cálculos de valência, enquanto que as escolhas sucessivas por blocos (cpb) permitiram o cálculo do índice de distância de Guimelli e a construção de árvores máximas. Os resultados mostram que tanto em contexto descritivo quanto em contexto normativo o pensamento se estrutura com dois polos opostos, um de esperança e evolução e outro de anseios e dificuldades. No contexto descritivo o pensamento é baseado na ideia de conhecimento, por sua vez, no contexto normativo a ideia de mais alta probabilidade de ser central é o trabalho. No contexto prático o polo de anseios e dificuldades quase desaparece, o pensamento é mais voltado à finalidade dos estudos e a ideias positivas e agradáveis da graduação, com a ideia de diagnóstico de centralidade mais provável sendo o crescimento. Tal resultado nos levanta a questão da polifasia cognitiva dentro da estrutura representacional.
La carrera de pregrado es un momento de transición para los jóvenes, de la vida estudiantil a la profesional. Por ser un objeto lleno de afectos, prácticas, inserto en una institución y vinculado a la cotidianidad de los estudiantes, la carrera es pensada de forma contextua-lizada. Buscamos estudiar la representación social de la carrera de pregrado dentro del enfoque estructural, en tres contextos de pensamiento: descriptivo, normativo y práctico. Participaron 340 estudiantes de psicología de tres universidades públicas del sureste de Brasil, que respondieron un cuestionario que contenía los esquemas cognitivos básicos (scb) y la técnica de elecciones sucesivas por bloques (cpb). Los datos de los scb fueron analizados con cálculos de valencia, mientras que las cpb permitieron el cálculo del índice de distancia de Guimelli y la construcción de árboles de máximos. Los resultados muestran que tanto en un contexto descriptivo como en uno normativo, el pensamiento se estructura con dos polos opuestos, uno de esperanza y evolución, y otro de angustias y dificultades. En el contexto descriptivo, el pensar se fundamenta en la idea de saber; en el contexto normativo, la idea con mayor probabilidad de ser central es el trabajo. En el contexto práctico, el polo de las angustias y dificultades casi desaparece, el pensamiento está más centrado en el propósito de los estudios y las ideas positivas y agradables de la carrera, siendo la idea más probable de diagnóstico central el crecimiento. Este resultado plantea la cuestión de la polifasia cognitiva dentro de la estructura representacional.
Undergraduate education is a moment of transition for young adults from educational to professional life. Because it is an object full of affections, practices, inserted within an institution and linked to the students' daily lives, undergradutae studies are thought of in a contextualized way. Therefore, the research aimed to study the social representation of undergraduate psychology studies based on the structural approach, within three different thought contexts: descriptive, normative, and practical. The participants were 340 undergraduate psychology students from three public universities in southeast Brazil. They answered a questionnaire using basic cognitive schemes (scb) and the successive choices by block (cpb) techniques. The data of the scb was analyzed by valence calculation, and the data of the cpb was used to calculate Guimelli's distance index and to elaborate maximum trees. Results show that in descriptive and normative contexts, thought is structured by two opposed poles: one of hope and evolution and another of yearnings and difficulties. In the descriptive context, thought is based on the idea of knowledge, whilst in the normative context, 'work' is the most likely central idea. In the practical context, the pole of yearnings and difficulties almost disappears. Thought is more related to study aims and to positive and pleasant ideas of the undergraduate studies, with the idea of development being most likely the central one. Such results elicit the question of cognitive polyphasia in the representational structure.

With the economic development of China and transformation of medical model, people pay more attention to their spiritual world and psychological health, and medical psychology has become a major in urgent need of construction. Foreign medical/clinical psychology education was established earlier and has become relatively mature, thus making its experience valuable for reference. This paper compares and analyzes the current situation of undergraduate medical psychology education, and puts forward optimization strategies from the aspects of college planning, curriculum training scheme and teachers’ teaching philosophy, hoping to provide some ideas for the construction of undergraduate medical psychology education in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the cognitive status of "living will" and "hospice care" among geriatrics students with different identities, and to provide a basis for improving teaching in corresponding sections of geriatric medicine. Methods:An online questionnaire was used to collect data from 426 students participating in specific courses in geriatric medicine and compare their differences in understanding of different issues. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the understanding of the concept of "living will" among students with different identities (χ2=5.84, P=0.054). In terms of the concept of "hospice care" , geriatricians and general practitioners had a better understanding than that of medical undergraduates (χ2=37.932, P<0.001). Compared to geriatricians and medical undergraduates, general practitioners had a lower level of autonomy in deciding whether to use life support treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=28.737, P<0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between general practitioners and medical undergraduates in the understanding of "signing living will" (χ2=12.75, P=0.01). Conclusion: The promotion of "living will" and "hospice care" in humanities courses of medical undergraduate and continuing medical education needs to be strengthened, and the popularization and publicity among the general public should be enhanced to lay the groundwork for improving the quality of hospice care.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application effect of flipped classroom combined with micro-lectures in the teaching of pediatric infectious diseases.Methods:A total of 199 five-year students in the class of 2019 from Department of Pediatrics of Chongqing Medical University were divided into 14 groups. Each group selected a micro-lecture theme targeting the key and difficult points of the course and produced an original micro-lecture video through flipped classroom, which was then uploaded to Chaoxing platform for evaluation by teachers and students. At the end of the course, a questionnaire survey was performed to investigate the teaching effect, and final examination score and department examination score during internship were compared between the students in the class of 2019 and those in the class of 2018. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t-test, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, the chi-square test, and the Fisher's exact test. Results:A total of 14 flipped micro-lecture works were completed by the students. The questionnaire survey showed that 98.47% (193/196) of the students thought that this model was helpful to master the key and difficult points; 93.88% (184/196) of the students thought that the flipped micro-lecture works had better originality and quality than reading reports and literature reviews in the past; 94.90% (186/196) of the students were more willing to accept the mode of flipped classroom combined with micro-lectures. Compared with the students in the class of 2018, the students in the class of 2019 had significantly higher final examination score (79.32±7.53 vs. 76.06±12.01, P<0.001), theoretical score of department examination (88.68±4.87 vs. 87.15±4.09, P<0.001), and operation score of department examination (84.93±7.56 vs. 82.08±9.10, P<0.001). Conclusion:Flipped classroom combined with micro-lectures can effectively solve the key and difficult points in the teaching of pediatric infectious diseases, and it can also stimulate the interest in independent learning and help to improve learning performance among students. Therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effect of immersive experiential teaching strategies in the teaching of clinical anesthesiology for undergraduates.Methods:Undergraduates majoring in 5-year clinical medicine in Air Force Medical University from January 2022 to May 2022 were enrolled as the research objects. Students were randomly divided into the immersive teaching group and the traditional teaching group, with 35 students in each. Students in the immersive teaching group underwent immersive experiential teaching strategies and the traditional teaching group received lecture-based teaching strategies. After classes, all students in these two groups took the same theoretical and operational examination, and conducted a teaching satisfaction survey and a comprehensive ability evaluation. The results were analyzed by t-test and Chi-square test using SPSS 22.0 software. Results:Students in the immersive teaching group were more satisfied with teaching (88.32±7.28 vs.70.15±7.11) ( P=0.001), and had higher scores of theorical examination (86.34±7.42 vs. 77.31±5.32) ( P=0.020) and operational examination (92.23±5.33 vs. 81.21±4.98) ( P=0.022) than those in the traditional teaching group. In addition, the scores of communication ability ( P=0.026), response ability ( P<0.001) adaptability ( P=0.007), and critical thinking ( P<0.001) in the immersive teaching group were higher than those in the traditional teaching group. Conclusion:The immersive experiential teaching strategies can effectively improve the theoretical and practical operational ability of undergraduates after completing courses of clinical anesthesiology, and can effectively stimulate the enthusiasm of students. It is worthy to be popularized in subsequent teaching abilities.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Early clinical exposure (ECE) is an educational methodology where medical students are exposed to the clinical settings in the undergraduate curriculum. This study aimed to examine the implementation status of ECE at medical schools in Japan. Methods: Based on published syllabi, we investigated the existence, location, and subjects (medical/non-medical staffs) of the training programs in medical schools. Results: Of 78 universities, 74 (95%) offered a total of 173 ECE practical training courses, and 51 (69%) combined on-campus and off-campus ECE training. Regarding the location and subjects, 81% of the on-campus ECE training was for medical personnel, 47% of the off-campus was for non-medical personnel, and 61% of the on- and off-campus was for both medical and non-medical personnel. Conclusions: More medical universities combined ECEs on-campus and off-campus and did not offer exposure only to medical staffs. The national trend can serve as a reference to discuss the circumstance of ECE and to plan ECE courses in the near future.

ABSTRACT
Clinical undergraduates generally have the following problems during their radiology internship: short internship period, low motivation, teachers using traditional teaching mode, and insufficient hardware and software facilities for image reading. In this study, RadiAnt DICOM Viewer and case-based learning (CBL) model were applied in online practice teaching for clinical undergraduates in the radiology department, which achieved good results. The results showed that the clinical undergraduates had a pass rate of 91.18% (124/136) in the image reading quiz and a mean score of (85.71±10.99) in the in-class quiz, with a pass rate of 91.91% (125/136). The satisfaction survey showed that 84.56% (115/136) of the students were more satisfied with the application of RadiAnt DICOM Viewer in image reading teaching; 80.88% (110/136) of the students expressed more interest in radiology after this training course; 90.44% (123/136) of the students thought that online practice teaching of radiology is feasible.
ABSTRACT
To address the problems in the traditional teaching of prosthodontics, the Department of Prosthodontics in the School of Stomatology of Shanghai Jiao Tong University has innovated to introduce integrated teaching into undergraduate education in prosthodontics, through systematically combining the related contents of Prosthodontics, Dental Engineering Technology, Dental Materials, and Dental Occlusion, blending theoretical teaching and clinical practice, integrating various teaching forms with traditional teaching, and consolidating teaching resources, to build a comprehensive teaching resource library, develop a multi-dimensional teaching evaluation system, and create an integrated prosthodontics course. The integrated teaching method enhanced undergraduate students' learning motivation and clinical adaptability in prosthodontics, promoted student-student and teacher-student communication, expanded students' thinking and vision, improved students' overall abilities in basic theory, clinical practice, professional literacy, communication, and teamwork, and thus increased the quality of undergraduate prosthodontics teaching.
ABSTRACT
Resumo Introdução: Marcada por franca expansão, crescimento da oferta pelo setor privado e atuação de diferentes grupos de influência, a educação médica figura no centro dos debates sobre qualidade da educação superior. A criação e a atuação das agências de acreditação de cursos médicos crescem em todo o mundo, tendo chegado ao Brasil com a criação do Sistema de Acreditação de Cursos Médicos por iniciativa do Conselho Federal de Medicina. Marco importante na educação médica brasileira, a criação do sistema representa avanço e deve ser considerada, no entanto o fato não invalida a possibilidade e a importância de implantação de política pública nacional de acreditação de cursos médicos, dada a relevância social e a preocupação com a qualidade da formação médica ofertada no país. Objetivo: Este artigo apresenta um paralelo entre os procedimentos adotados pelas agências acreditadoras internacionais, pelo Saeme e nos procedimentos do Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior. Método: O paralelo foi traçado com base em análise documental, em que foram investigados artigos na temática de acreditação e qualidade da educação médica, bem como os documentos orientadores de agências acreditadoras internacionais. Resultado: A análise documental revela similaridades nos procedimentos adotados internacionalmente em comparação com as iniciativas nacionais no que concerne à estrutura básica de avaliação, à exigência de autoavaliação, à preocupação com a avaliação da aprendizagem, à previsão de monitoramento e alinhamento prévio, bem como à valorização do currículo baseado em competências. Conclusão: Os resultados apontam para um cenário favorável com vistas a demonstrar o potencial nacional para instauração de sistema público de acreditação.
Abstract Introduction: Marked by rapid expansion, growth in supply by the private sector and the performance of different groups of influence, medical education is at the centre of debates on the quality of higher education. The creation and performance of medical course accreditation agencies is growing around the world, having arrived in Brazil with the creation of the Medical School Accreditation System (SAEME) on the initiative of the Federal Council of Medicine. An important milestone in Brazilian medical education, the creation of the system represents progress and should be considered. However, this fact does not invalidate the possibility and importance of implementing a national public policy for the accreditation of medical courses, given the social relevance and concern with the quality of medical training offered in the country. Method: Based on a document analysis, in which articles on accreditation and quality of medical education were analysed, as well as the guiding documents of international accreditation agencies, this article presents a parallel and draws similarities between the procedures adopted by international accreditation agencies, by the SAEME and the procedures of the National Higher Education Assessment System. Results: The document analysis pointed to similarities in the procedures adopted internationally compared to national initiatives with regard to the basic assessment structure, the requirement for self-assessment, the concern regarding assessment of the learning, the provision for monitoring and prior alignment, as well as valuing the competency-based curriculum. Considerations: The results point to a favourable scenario with a view to demonstrating the national potential for setting up a public accreditation system.

Romper com o modelo biomédico é necessário, e o ponto inicial pode vir com a compreensão da narrativa do usuário ou da usuária. Este estudo buscou avaliar a compreensão de estudantes de medicina das narrativas de adoecimento, utilizando a entrevista McGillIllness Narrative Interview (MINI). Trata-se de estudo exploratório, descritivo e qualitativo, realizado durante cinco semanas com 11 estudantes do quinto ano de uma universidade privada, no internato de Medicina de Família e Comunidade, que prestavam atendimento a 29 pessoas usuárias de unidades de saúde. Por meio de encontros individuais on-line, foram levantadas questões sobre essa experiência. Os relatos foram inseridos em núcleos argumentais, o que possibilitou o estabelecimento de relações com o referencial teórico da Medicina Narrativa, da Antropologia Médica e da Clínica Ampliada. Para os alunos e alunas houve uma nova experiência de entrevista clínica, uma valorização da narrativa e o desejo de incorporar uma abordagem mais ampliada à sua prática, embora não contemplem incorporar o MINI na sua forma integral, atribuindo a isso dificuldades na rotina médica. Acreditamos que o MINI pode colaborar com a aquisição de competências interpretativa e narrativa em estudantes, embora o ensino esteja ainda, emparte, vinculado ao modelo biomédico.
It is essential to break with the biomedical model. The starting point for that can come from the understanding of patients' narratives. This study sought to evaluate medical students' comprehension of illness narratives using the McGill Illness Narrative Interview (MINI). This is an exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative study, carried out with 11 fifth-year students at a private university in the internship of Family and Community Medicine, for five weeks, involving the care of 29 patients in health units. Through individual online meetings, questions were raised about the experience.The reports were inserted into categories, which allowed us to establish relationships among the theoretical referential elements of Narrative Medicine, Medical Anthropology, and Expanded Clinic. It was a new experience of clinical interviews for the students, with a new appreciation of narratives and a desire to incorporate a more extended approach to their practice, although they do not contemplate incorporating the MINI in its full form due to difficulties in the physician's routine. We believe that MINI can collaborate with the acquisition of interpretative and narrative competence in students, although teaching is still partly linked to the biomedical model.

Clinical evaluation: The structured activity with multimodality from the methodology and location of the participants fulfilled the objective of evaluating and graduating interns. It was carried out through the presentation of case scenarios of two of the major specialties in the intern per student, carried out in a simulation office and a high-fidelity room occupying simulated patients, high-performance simulators, nurse/assistance, function software vital and technical simulation, all of them in person in addition to the student, and the juries remotely who, through observation first and then the support of the student, were able to evaluate performance through rubrics.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: Publicar artículos desde el pregrado permite al estudiante culminar el proceso de investigación y desarrollar habilidades útiles para el posgrado. Objetivo: Describir la producción científica estudiantil en las revistas odontológicas indexadas en la colección SciELO durante los años 2018 y 2019. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal, considerando como unidad de análisis los artículos. Se consideraron las revistas indexadas en la colección en el momento de las búsquedas, así como las que incluyeron en sus artículos información relacionada con el grado académico de los autores. Se estudiaron las siguientes variables: nombre de la revista, factor de impacto, artículos con participación estudiantil, año de publicación, idiomas, tipologías, temáticas, número de estudiantes por artículo, tipos y modalidad de autoría, países, universidades y citas. Resultados: Se evaluaron nueve revistas y en tres no se encontraron artículos con autoría estudiantil. Se publicaron 889 artículos, de los cuales el 3,49 por ciento tuvo participación de estudiantes. International Journal of Odontostomatology (5,41 por ciento) fue la revista con más artículos con autoría estudiantil. El 67,74 por ciento de los artículos fueron originales. Los autores estudiantiles brasileños y peruanos publicaron igual número de artículos (n = 8). El 19,35 por ciento de los artículos investigó temas de cirugía maxilofacial. Tres artículos estuvieron afiliados a la peruana Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Conclusiones: La producción científica estudiantil en las revistas odontológicas indexadas en SciELO es baja y se concentra principalmente en los artículos originales(AU)
Introduction: Publishing articles during undergraduate training makes it possible for students to complete the research process and develop skills useful for graduate education. Objective: Describe students' scientific production in dental journals indexed in the SciELO collection during the years 2018 and 2019. Methods: A cross-sectional observational descriptive study was conducted in which articles were the units of analysis. The journals considered were those indexed in the collection when the search was performed and those including articles containing information related to the academic degree of authors. The variables considered were journal name, impact factor, articles with students' participation, year of publication, languages, typologies, topics, number of students per article, authorship types and modes, countries, universities and citations. Results: Nine journals were evaluated, three of which did not contain any article of student authorship. A total 889 articles were published, with students participating in 3.49 percent of them. The International Journal of Odontostomatology (5.41 percent) was the journal with the largest number of articles of student authorship. 67.74 percent of the articles were original. Brazilian and Peruvian student authors published the same number of articles (n = 8). 19.35 percent of the articles dealt with topics related to maxillofacial surgery. Three articles were affiliated to the Peruvian National University of San Marcos. Conclusions: Students' scientific production is low in dental journals indexed in SciELO, and is mainly composed of original articles(AU)

OBJECTIVE To introduce the construction of undergraduate specialty of clinical pharmacy based on the concept of outcome-based education (OBE),and to provide new idea and enlightenment for the construction of undergraduate specialty of clinical pharmacy in Chinese universities. METHODS Through the establishment and construction of training objectives and graduation requirements ,teaching reform was designed and implemented ,and the construction of teaching support system and teaching quality assurance system were completed. RESULTS The clinical pharmacy department of our university established the training direction of clinical pharmacy talents under the guidance of post competence ,including clarifying the training needs of undergraduate talents based on the overall requirements of national undergraduate education ;defining the social and industrial needs of clinical pharmacy talents based on the normative documents or concepts of clinical pharmacy ;clarifying the post and ability needs of clinical pharmacy talents based on the investigation of graduates and clinical pharmacists ;clarifying the development needs of clinical pharmacy based on the current situation and trends at home and abroad ;forming characteristic training objectives combined with the regional characteristics and school positioning , so as to construct training objectives and graduation requirements. The OBE concept was introduced into the undergraduate teaching reform of clinical pharmacy ;the pharmacy talent training direction were established under the guidance of post competence ;the training system was designed by reverse design method;a training mode of both innovation and practical ability was built so as to promote teaching reform ,strengthen the construction of grass-roots teaching organizations and teaching staff , and improve the construction of teaching quality assurance system. CONCLUSIONS The undergraduate training mode of clinical pharmacy specialty based on the concept of OBE is helpful to improve students ’personal comprehensive quality and professional knowledge and skills. The established undergraduate training model of clinical pharmacy specialty is in line with the modern educational concept and social needs ,and provides theoretical basis and practical experience for the training mode of clinical pharmacy professionals.
