Abstract

This Scientific Initiation is part of the Thematic Project - Health and quality of life of Brazilian medical students and their relationship with professional training. The fellow will participate in the qualitative analysis of three open questions answered by students from a first, fourth and sixth year medical course: 1) What values do you consider fundamental for a doctor 2) Describe an episode in your personal life or in the medical course that influenced your way of seeing medicine 3) How do you imagine yourself working as a doctor in 10 years? The data will be analyzed qualitatively, the NVivo software will be used as part of the analysis and the level of reflection of the responses will also be analyzed. The results of the three years of the course evaluated will also be compared.
