O ensino das cefaleias em uma universidade pública: análise da matriz curricular e visão dos discentes

Abstract

The Academic Conclusion of the Course (TACC) had the objective of examining the teaching of headache in the undergraduate, through the analysis of the pedagogical project of the medical course (PPC) and the evaluation of the students. The methodology used was quantitative-qualitative of exploratory nature, through documentary analysis and use of clinical cases presented in videos. The results of the research are presented in two original articles entitled: 1) The teaching of headache in a medical course; in which the data on the analysis of the PPC and the evaluation of the students 'questionnaires are presented and 2) Evaluation of the knowledge of the medical interns on headache, where the students' knowledge about the subject is evaluated through the response to the clinical cases presented in video format. The identification of gaps in the teaching of headache has led to the development of two intervention products: the creation of a channel on YouTube and a technical-scientific report for the Nucleus Teaching Structure (NDE) of the Faculty of Medicine of UFAL. The difficulty in balancing the amount of information and clinical skills in the medical curriculum provides a less important status for headache. However, given its prevalence and social magnitude, it is imperative that there is a reassessment of educational planning in the Academies. It is intended a curricular adaptation of the medical course, using transversality and interdisciplinarity of the subject, with the purpose of making the egress better able to the global health care of the community.
