Abstract

FERREIRA, Chrystiano de Campos  and  SOUZA, Ana Maria de Lima. Training and Practice of the Medicine Teacher: a Study Performed at the Federal University of Rondônia. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2016, vol.40, n.4, pp.635-643. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v40n4e01012015.

Objective

To analyze the training and teaching practice of medical teachers within the context of medical courses of the three higher education institutions that offer medical training in Porto Velho, with reference to the perceptions of medical teachers themselves.

Methods

The study took both a quantitative and qualitative approach, consisting of two phases. The first involved the application of a questionnaire and the second consisted of semi-structured interviews.

Results

The study revealed that teachers’ knowledge is constructed from the experiences of each professional and not necessarily through specific courses.

Conclusion

The medical teachers are satisfied with their knowledge and experience gained through years of teaching. For the interviewees, specific teacher training is not a prerequisite for being a “good” teacher of Medicine.
