RESTOM, Abrão Georges; RIECHELMANN, José Carlos; MACHADO, Valéria Menezes Peixeiro  and  MACHADO, José Lúcio Martins. Social Representation of Student Experiences in Medical School. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2015, vol.39, n.3, pp.370-377. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v39n3e02082014.

Broadly speaking, medicine engages the prevention and cure of human diseases. Problem-based training allows the student to analyze the components of health situations. The Community Health Integration Program (Pisco) aims to enable students and teachers to experience the practice directed at comprehensive actions, highlighting health prevention and promotion. The objective of this study was to analyze first to fourth-year student experiences during the evaluation process of Pisco activities and their relationship with the pedagogical design of the course. A qualitative-quantitative descriptive study was conducted. The students produced written records at the end of each meeting, from March 2008 to December 2011. The records were analyzed using Discourse of the Subject and the software QualiQuantiSoft®. The results showed a reduced number of records made from the fifth stage onwards, from which time the students begin to experience different medical practice environments and start to pay less attention to Family Health Program activities.
