COSTA, Maria Cristina Guimarães da; TONHOM, Silvia Franco da Rocha  e  FLEUR, Lucas Noda. Teaching and Learning Professional Practice: Medical Students’ Perspective. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2016, vol.40, n.2, pp.245-253. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v40n2e01522014.

Marília Medical School has built an integrated and dialogic curriculum, with the Professional Practice Unit (PPU) developed through problem-based learning. This study aims to analyze the teaching and learning process in the Professional Practice Unit (PPU) from the medical students’ perspective. This is a qualitative study based on interviews with 16 randomly chosen students, encompassing all series of the Medical Course. The data was subjected to content analysis, with three thematic categories: Understanding of the proposed PPU; The teaching-learning process; and the organization of knowledge construction. Despite some gaps in the educational unit organization, the proposed curriculum enables professional training according to National Guidelines, and meets the needs of the Unified Health System, thus helping other schools to adapt their curricula and seek a more critical and reflective professional education.
