Trajetória no curso de medicina e formação de identidade: uma narrativa crítico-reflexiva

Abstract

This study aims to reflect about the experiences lived by the author during her medical degree at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), correlating them with the process of identity construction from 2019 to 2024. The method used was based on the analysis of documentary records, using a qualitative approach based on Bardin's (2006) content analysis theory. The results, presented in the format of a critical-reflective narrative, highlight the importance of autonomy and emotional maturity during the initial phase of graduation, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the learning process, the most significant difficulty faced during the middle years and the central role of the internship in consolidating professional identity. In conclusion, it is emphasized that identity formation during undergraduate education, according to the author, is a continuous and dynamic process, extending beyond graduation and requiring constant self-knowledge and renewal.
