Staff from the SAMU and the municipal departments, trained medicine students, interns and nursing students from three schools in, emergency care for them to give lectures to the staff of municipal schools. The Brigade showed positive results regarding the acceptance and satisfaction among the school employees, who had the opportunity to resolve their doubts about everyday situations experienced both by students and by school staff. The experience was also rewarding for the students, who had the opportunity to exercise their citizenship, contributing to the welfare of society and health promotion.
