Prof. Álvaro Nagib Atallah, representing the São Paulo Medical Assossiation, declared: “it is necessary to reflect on the vocation for the activity of medical health professionals and pass the responsibility for knowledge and skills to the students, so that they are aware of what the professors will teach and are able to demand high quality”. Professor Giselle Burlamaqui Klautau, from the Faculty of Medical Sciences at Santa Casa de São Paulo, participated in the meeting at FMUSP and stated: “You cannot penalize the student, but it is essential to evaluate and qualify medical schools. Looking at the institution is also looking at the student and the training of the future medical professional”. “Doctors should show that they continue to study”, is the opinion of Prof. Paulo Hilario Nascimento Saldiva, from the Department of Pathology at FMUSP, who participated in the thematic Congregation remotely. Prof. Saldiva also added: “the medical evaluation exam must take into account that schools are not the same and will train different doctors”. “Just six years of graduation is not enough, everyone needs access to residency programs and consistent medical practice. For this, all students need to have a minimum amount of training, but it is necessary to evaluate the specificities”, said Prof. Eloisa Silva de Oliveira Bonfá, Clinical Director of Hospital das Clínicas, FMUSP. Prof. Linamara Rizzo Batisttela, from the Department of Legal Medicine, Medical Ethics and Social and Work Medicine at FMUSP, suggested that medical schools in São Paulo should come together and define priority areas for training physicians. She added: it is “a possible action within what we have today and, after the measurement of short-term results, if they are positive, it can be continued and replicated in other University’s across the country”. and the trick to keeping kids entertained in São Paulo 1.
