A formação da identidade do médico: implicações para o ensino de graduação em Medicina

O artigo discute a constituição da identidade do médico tendo como pontos de partida sua escolha e formação profissionais. A partir da experiência das autoras no ensino médico, em especial na disciplina de Psicologia Médica, e da literatura na área são enfocadas: a idealização do papel do médico, as motivações conscientes e inconscientes na opção profissional, as dificuldades dos primeiros anos na escola médica, o início das atividades didáticas no hospital e os mecanismos psicológicos defensivos acionados no contato com pacientes. É muito importante que as Escolas Médicas e seus professores tenham conhecimento desses aspectos, devendo preocupar-se não apenas com questões curriculares e pedagógicas, mas também com o modelo de relação professor-aluno, considerando o seu papel fundamental na formação da identidade médica.

The frequent characterization about the Physical Education Degree is associated to technical-sport and training aspects and this is the reason of this study. The objective is to understand the motives to the basis of this situation. In this sense, a theoretical study was developed regarding the Physical Education Teaching Training in Brazil; at the same time, an empirical investigation was carried out with first-year students of the cited degree. The register tool to collect the students' understandings was an open question expressed as: "Why did you choose the course of Physical Education Degree?" which was answered in written form by the students. So as to make up an understanding of the data collected, the information was organized in two thematic categories; Category A: no identification with schooling; Category B: reasons in relation to the (lack) of professional vocation. Based on the students' answers, it was possible to comprehend that choosing the mentioned degree it is mostly set up by a lack of option, instead of a real professional identity and thoughtful processes of transformation in society.
