Médico-docente: refletindo sobre sua prática pedagógica no internato

Abstract

The teaching work of the medical professional in the compulsory curricular internship, brings reflections and questions about the dilemmas existing between his pedagogical performance and patient care. The objective of the research was to analyze the action of the doctor-teacher in his daily pedagogical practice, seeking to understand his identity, conceptions and educational experiences. This is a qualitative research (case study), involving the teachers of the boarding school of a private university in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The research procedures were: application of questionnaire, interview with semi-structured script and observation of the teaching action at boarding school. The analysis of data (content analysis) sought to characterize the action of the doctor-teacher in the construction of their professional identity, to unveil the didactic-pedagogical and assistance relationships in the development of daily activities, to evaluate the didactic-pedagogical process, to highlight the limits and possibilities The analysis of the doctor-teacher's actions regarding patient care and student teaching demonstrated the desire of teachers to acquire pedagogical and didactic resources in order to guarantee better quality teaching. Clearly we observed a greater ease in the medical action when compared to the teaching action.
