Na hora que eu cheguei lá, quis ir embora: narrativas e memórias de docentes médicos sobre o ensino baseado na comunidade

Abstract

Medical Education in Brazil is currently undergoing major curricular transformations and Community Based Education has become a potential scenario for the teaching-learning process. The Multicampi School of Medical Sciences of UFRN (EMCM) was created in the perspective of this change of curriculum and training of professionals with critical and reflexive thinking, with insertion from the first semester into the community environment. Medical teachers working in this context were trained in the traditional medical teaching model, where teaching in the community did not exist or was little explored. Thus, it was observed the need to understand how the memories of medical training triggered in the community environment are expressed in the experience of teaching in the community of EMCM medical teachers. The study is based on the qualitative approach, the technique used to obtain the research data was the interview, with semi-structured script. The analysis of the results was performed using the categorical thematic analysis technique. From this analysis two categories emerged: "They will be doctors within a community": curriculum, memoirs and medical training and "When I got there, I wanted to leave": experiences and memories of a rite of passage, which are in the process of Discussion according to the literature.
