PRÁCTICA CLÍNICA TUTELADA: DONDE EL ESTUDIANTE APRENDE ACTITUDES Y VALORES

Abstract

The rotation of medical students by health services is an opportunity to show them how values,
skills and criteria are applied on a day-to-day basis. In general, there is a certain dissociation
between what the student considers a quality standard and what she observes in the care
services, pressured by a chronic lack of time and resources. This article explores strategies so
that this leap from theory to practice is a positive experience for the student, and to avoid the
danger of establishing an inapparent curriculum that prioritizes survival in hostile territory, instead
to applicate skills and critical reflection to each patient. Teaching to reflect in a context of
healthcare pressure is one of the great contributions that supervised practices can make in
healthcare centres, especially Primary Health Care.
