Contribuições das atividades extracurriculares na formação do estudante de medicina: relato de experiência

Abstract

Introduction: Medical training results from the sum of the formal curriculum - consisting of the curriculum that is based on the course's Political and Pedagogical Project, which is guided by the National Curricular Guidelines - and the informal curriculum, which contemplates the personal experiences of the individual and the extracurricular activities they participate in. Thus, knowing the reality of the extra-curricular activities that make up the informal curriculum means better understanding a large part of the medical student's training. Objectives: discuss the importance of extracurricular activities in the training of a medical student, connecting these concepts to the author's personal experience. Methodology: this work consists of an Experience Report, containing the author's journey through the extra curricular activities she participated in and her perception of them in her training. Experience report: the extra-curricular activities covered are extension projects, scientific initiation, congresses and symposiums and other projects3, each with its own impact on the author's experience. Discussion: extra-curricular activities are opportunities offered by the University with the potential to expand both technical knowledge and promote personal and subjective experiences for students. Conclusion: the activities mentioned in this work played an extremely important role in the integral experience of the Public University, as well as for technical and human improvement for the author.
