RIOS, Izabel Cristina  and  SIRINO, Caroline Braga. Humanization in Undergraduate Medical Training: the Students’ Point of View. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2015, vol.39, n.3, pp.401-409. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v39n3e00092015.

The subject of “humanization” has been increasingly recurrent in health services and in medical school curricula. This qualitative study was conducted to understand how the undergraduate medical students view and interpret humanization in their teaching and learning scenarios. Using hermeneutic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 6th-year medical students from the University of São Paulo in 2010, humanization issues were highlighted and studied: management services, medical education, interactivity, and the concept of humanization, whether present or not in the different teaching scenarios. The study has deepened our understanding of humanization in medical school and can contribute to its development in medical training by identifying some aspects that require further work together with students and the need to integrate humanization into the general setting of their training.
