Development of medical values in the training in active methodologies

Abstract

With the growing expansion of medical education in Brazil, in parallel with the updating of the
National Curriculum Guidelines (2001, 2014 and 2022), reflection on the teaching-learning process of
ethics and bioethics becomes necessary. The study correlates moral values developed during medical
training with their application during the mandatory internship in a medical course in southern
Brazil. This is a qualitative study with 72 students from the internship classes, and data collection
consisted of an individual questionnaire. The results of the content analysis indicate that the moral
values learned during training and the values practiced and considered essential for internship
experience are respect, responsibility, patience and humility, and discussions and learning about
these moral/social values take place more frequently when educational strategies characteristic of
active methodologies are adopted.
