O ensino de urgência e emergência no internato médico: memorial de formação

Abstract

Learning about urgencies and emergencies is of great importance for medical training, and it is possible to observe a progressive increase in emergency care in Brazil and the world. There are, however, some gaps in medical schools regarding the urgent and emergency teaching of students throughout their graduation. Thus, this course completion work aims to compare the training memorial of a medical student at the Federal University of São Carlos about her experiences in Urgencies and emergencies in the medical internship with the best didactic recommendations teaching urgency and emergencies in medical schools. The search was carried out in the student's files, including the graduation portfolio and a literature search in PubMed, LILACS, and SciELO. This search made it possible to identify the student’s impressions regarding urgency and emergency teaching in the medical internship and the best teaching recommendations. It is possible to conclude that teaching Urgency and Emergencies at UFSCar presents a comprehensive and diversified approach; however, there are still some structural weaknesses, with the student’s lack of experience in scenarios in Emergency Care Units (UPA) and low exposure to the experience of emergencies and pediatric and gynecological/obstetric emergencies.
