Três vezes doutora: reflexões de uma médica veterinária em formação médica na UFSCar

Abstract

This Final Course Paper was prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Pedagogical Project of the Medical Program at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), in the form of a critical-reflexive narrative about my experience throughout medical school. The text is organized around a particular feature of my trajectory: I came to medicine already holding a degree in Veterinary Medicine and, during the program, I combined medical training with a PhD in Biotechnology. From this perspective, I discuss the differences and similarities between the two health degrees, with attention to teaching methodologies, clinical reasoning and the relationship with the other in care. I go through the cycles of medical training in chronological order, from the basic cycle to the internship, taking as my main source the reflective portfolios I produced in each educational unit, from which I retrieve records and reflections written in the heat of each moment. I seek to record not only the competencies acquired, but also the subjectivities and transformations that ran through these years.
