Introduction: The teaching and learning process can happen in different ways, with education having a very important role in transforming society in a positive way. In addition, the objective of teaching is to achieve a good formation and qualification of the student, with the school being an aid in this development. The constant production of knowledge and the increasingly application of technology, makes there is an inherent need to search for methods and models that aim to ensure practical application, instigating the search for solutions. The use of material such as manuals, formulated in an objective, utilitarian way, with images and easy to understand, plays an important role in health education. In addition, the participatory approach used in the construction of the educational material allows identifying the needs of the target audience, as well as indicating the content of the materials corresponding to their own demands. Objectives: to evaluate the consolidation of knowledge built in different learning scenarios (tutoring, clinical and morphofunctional skills), using a picture book as a methodological resource. Methodology: the study carried out was of the descriptive type, in order to analyze the consolidation of knowledge through notebooks containing figures related to the contents worked in the tutorial sessions, in the Morphofunctional Laboratory and in Clinical Skills. Participating in the research were undergraduates of the Medicine course of the 8th semester of the University Center of the State of Pará (CESUPA). Results: the present study analyzed the consolidation of the knowledge built in the thematic modules (Tutoring, Morphofunctional Laboratory and Clinical Skills) from the answers given by 22 students. 21 questions were elaborated. In these questions the score varied between 47.2% (the lowest) and 95.2% (the highest), the academics had a mean of 80.5% and a standard deviation of 12.5%. The percentages of correct answers did not present a normal distribution, and the median is representative of the class = 85.7%. Conclusion: It was found that the use of images in the teaching-learning process can be an instrument for acquiring and fixing content. Its purpose is to strengthen, in an illustrative way and based on the current literature, the recommendations and possible innovations that will enable the ability to transform acquired knowledge into constructed knowledge.

(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2020) Diniz, Ana Beatriz de Sousa; Jamielniaski, Rafael Almeida Kapassi; Carvalho, Ana Emília Vita; Furlaneto, Ismari Perini; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9542085122721945; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1981562999898097
Introduction: Medical students are continuously subjected to stressful factors, predisposing to psychological problems such as Burnout Syndrome. Socioeconomic factors influence the syndrome, but parental practice has not been taken into account in other studies with this population. Objectives: Describe the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome and the model of parenting practices in medical students. Methods: Cross-sectional, analytical and descriptive study with a quantitative approach to the data, in which 189 students from the 1st, 4th and 6th year of a medical course participated, with an average age of 22.9 years, with 60% of the sample being female, 40% male. The data were collected through socio-demographic and economic questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Scale on Memories of Parenting Practices. Results: The studied sample showed that in MBI the highest averages were in the domain 'personal achievement' (40.9). Comparing the MBI scores by academic year, it was found that the 6th grade students had lower 'emotional exhaustion' scores lower than those observed in 1st and 4th year students (p = 0.0117). As for the results in EMBU, the dimension 'emotional warmth' presented higher averages compared to the domain 'rejection' and that the 'overprotection' (p <0.0001).Conclusion: It is considered the importance of stimulating and promoting actions that encourage the performance of extra academic activities for students, as well as involving the family in the experiences of the medical course.
Análise do aprendizado de anatomia humana em um curso de medicina com Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas (ABP)
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2019) Marques, Igor Gabriel; Cunha, Victor Menezes da; Penha, Nelson Elias Abrahão da; Oliveira, Wellington Pinheiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4902455106917702; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5207645183090927
Objective: This paper aims to analyze the perception of learnig in human anatomy of the medical student along the PBL method in differents cycles of the course (basics and clinics). Method: This is an analytical and descriptive cross-sectional study wich have analyzed data obtained through a questionnaire, with directs responses using the Likert scale, applied to CESUPA’s students of the fifth and eighth semesters of the medical course, between november 2018 and march 2019. Results: When the answers was decomposed individually for questions per class, it was verified independence through the G-test. There were statistical significance for the questions 7 “Are you sure that the anatomical study developed through the active methodology, up to this moment of the course, was enough to complete the thematic modules?” (p = 0,0007), being the alternative B the most checked by the two classes and 8 ”Do you believe that the knowledge learned unitl here will be usefull for the practice at your profession as a general physician?” (p = 0.036), being the alternative A, the most checked by the two classes, then, the alternative B. The remaining questions were not statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: The medical studens who learn anatomy through the PBL at CESUPA feel safe about the support of this subject in their way as a general practitioner and has a good degree of agreement that the learning developed in anatomy, was sufficient for the conclusion of each thematic module.
Avaliação da percepção discente sobre o ensino e aplicação prática da bioética em um curso de medicina na Amazônia
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2021) Martins Filho, Heyder Calderaro; Guerra, Izabela Lamounier dos Martires; Mendes, Fabíola de Carvalho Chaves de Siqueira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1890695030888456
The term "bioethics" was created by Potter in 1971. He wanted to associate the technological/biological knowledge with human beliefs which is extremely necessary in the development of knowledge and its practice. The study of bioethics still needs more application in medicine graduation courses over the country despite its development in the last few decades. Bioethics is very important for the medical education. Therefore, it is necessary to make an evaluation of its application as well as an evaluation of the disposition of students to apply it in their daily lives. The goal of this article is to make a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the bioethics learning process. It will also evaluate the perception of the students about the learning process over the graduation course and the influence on the students' attitudes. In order to do that analysis, the data was gathered through the use of a survey. The survey has been applied to students of medicine from the first to the eighth semesters in a private university in the city of Belém, Pará. According to the survey, the majority of the students has the theoretical knowledge about the principles of bioethics. Yet they struggle when theyneed to apply this knowledge on contextualized situations involving clinical practice. They usually perform better on a research context. Furthermore, the students know little about the difference between bioethics and medical ethic. Nonetheless, the students believe that the way bioethics is approached in the medicine graduation course is satisfactory. They also acknowledge its importance in the medical education. They understand that bioethics is mostly approached during the first semester of the course in classes such as MISC and Clinical skills. They think the existence of a formal class such as bioethics is important in their academic curriculum and the first and the last semesters of the course are great opportunities for classes like that. Despite the importance of bioethics, some students say they could not change their behavior after studying it.
Avaliação do conhecimento dos acadêmicos de um curso de medicina em Belém do Pará sobre cuidados paliativos
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2021) Melo, Eliza Matos de; Oliveira, Luiza Helena Leão; Fernandes, Sweny de Sousa Marinho
Introduction: The definition of palliative care refers to the care practice performed by a multidisciplinary team for patients with life-threatening diseases. These cares should be started as soon as possible, right after the diagnosis, in order to prevent the suffering of the patient and their families. Therefore, knowledge of palliative care by medical students is essential so that, once they graduate, they can provide it, providing comprehensive and adequate care to the patient. Objective: To assess the knowledge of medical students about palliative care in the first, fifth, ninth and twelfth semesters of graduation. Method: This is a research with a quantitative approach, carried out at the Centro Universitário do Pará (CESUPA), on the João Paulo do Valle Mendes campus, headquarters of the Medicine course, Belém, Pará, Brazil. For data collection, a questionnaire containing open and closed questions about the knowledge of students about palliative care was used. Data Analysis: The database was built from Microsoft Excel 2016 and Word programs. All tests were performed using the BioEstat 5.5 program. Qualitative variables were described by frequency and percentage. The independence or association between two independent categorical variables was tested by the chi-square test and the significant associations were detailed by standardized residual analysis. Results with p ≤ 0.05 (bilateral) were considered statistically significant. Results: There was an evolution in the theoretical knowledge of students about palliative care during the semesters of the course, 77.5% of students do not feel able to work with palliative care based on the knowledge acquired in graduation, 73.3% of students know that this care does not apply only to situations of terminality in life, 70.8% of students are not able to recognize the appropriate time to start palliative care. Conclusion: It is necessary to boost the knowledge of palliative care of students in medical graduation, in order to train doctors to work in this care modality, which is still little known by health professionals.

(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2019) Machado, Bárbara Melina Rodrigues; Lima, Elaine Fernandes Melo Ribeiro; Sefer, Celina Cláudia Israel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0218316102057635
Introduction: Parkinson's disease is among the main chronic and progressive neurodegenerative diseases affecting the nervous system and it is estimated that 1% of the population over 65 years of age is affected by this disease. In this way, it is essential to analyze the understanding that medical scholars have about the disease. Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of medical students from the 8th to the 11th semester of an institution of higher education on Parkinson's Disease. Methodology: Cross-sectional, analytical and descriptive study, using quantitative approach of questionnaire analysis applied to medical students distributed from the 8th to 11th period. After the data collection, the analysis was performed through the program Bioestat 5.0. Results: Most students (76.25%) had unsatisfactory levels of knowledge about the pathology. However, it was noted that the students have perception of the clinical picture, ease of diagnosis, as well as understanding about the pathophysiology of the disease and the initial treatment for the pathology. On the other hand, they have difficulty in monitoring, clinical segment of the patient and observation of side effects. Conclusion: The medical students participating in the study obtained a low level of knowledge about Parkinson's disease.
Avaliação do conhecimento dos graduandos de medicina de uma instituição de ensino particular acerca da conduta do paciente com AVE no serviço de urgência
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2019) Sabóia, Cícero Alyson Dantas; Cunha, Karen Elita Marinho; Sefer, Celina Cláudia Israel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0218316102057635
The stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of death in the adult population in Brazil. It usually affects people over 55 years of age and is one of the leading causes of disability in the world. Data from the Ministry of Health reveal that, in 2015, there were 100,520 deaths related to the AVE, constituting 7.95% of the total deaths in the country. Stroke is a clinical emergency and a short delay in your treatment may have important clinical implications. Therefore, it is necessary that the doctors have control over the matter and know how to conduct a patient with a stroke in the emergency department. Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of the medical students of a private higher education institution regarding the conduct of the patient with stroke in the emergency department. Methodology: A cross-sectional, descriptive study using a quantitative questionnaire analysis with 109 medical students from Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará (CESUPA), distributed in the fourth, eighth and eleventh semesters. The analytical statistic was used to evaluate the results through the G-tests and Chi-square Adherence for univariate tables and G-tests and Chi-square Independence for bivariate tables. Results: A total of 109 questionnaires were analyzed, being 36 of the fourth, 40 of the eighth and 33 of the 11th semester. There was a predominance of females (56%) and the age group of 22 to 23 years (32.1%). Students of the 11th semester (72.7%) were the ones who felt more secure to attend stroke victims in the emergency room. In addition, 99.1% of students consider it important to master the subject. The superiority of the 11th semester was noted in the following items: most common cause of stroke (87.9% of correct answers); signs and symptoms suggestive of stroke, except in the item "aphasia", in which eighth-semester students (95%) obtained more correct scores than the eleventh (78.8%); definition of onset of symptoms if patient wakes or is found with symptoms of stroke (69.7%); maximum time from onset of symptoms to thrombolysis (63.6%); blood pressure (BP), which indicates the use of anti-hypertensives in patients suffering from stroke (72.7%); and in all items of assertions of true or false. It is noteworthy that, in these assertions, a satisfactory result of the students of the 11th semester was observed in relation to the others. A relevant fact was the accuracy of 100% of these students about the information that the computed tomography (CT) of the skull can be normal up to 24 hours of the AVE. In addition, there is a partial evolution regarding the conduct in the case of suspected stroke, since there was evolution only in the items "CT of the skull or cerebral nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)" and "Thrombolysis if ischemic stroke". There was no evolution in the items "acetylsalicylic acid (AAS)", "Measurement and control of blood glucose" and "electrocardiogram (ECG)". Conclusion: It is concluded that there is an evolution in the knowledge of medical graduates of CESUPA about the conduct of the patient victim of stroke in the urgency with the advancement of the semesters, but there are still gaps in theoretical and practical medical training on the subject proposed by the institution.
Cartilha sobre cuidados paliativos: uma forma lúdica para inserir o assunto na graduação em medicina
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2022-11-08) Azevedo, Giovanna Calderaro Coimbra Monteiro; Souza, Ravine Campos de; Albuquerque, Mário Roberto Tavares Cardoso de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3233617656287982; Souza, Ivete Moura Seabra de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5318491010793081; Maués, Cristiane Ribeiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0584956998438639
The increase in the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases has contributed to the training of technicists and biologist doctors. Consequently, the death was seen as a professional failure. On the other side, comprehensive patient care in line with humanized care promotes health care that reaffirms the importance of life and understands death as a natural process. This way, it is essential to develop, even in the undergraduate course, strategies the encourage the exercise and practice of palliative care, since the graduate must have a general, critical, reflective and ethical humanist training that defends human dignity and integral health. For this, approaching a delicate topic such as the end of life in a playful and recreational way is essential for the training of future professionals. The present work has the objective an elaboration and validation of a booklet to inset the theme of palliative care in the graduation in Medicine. This validation was carried out by expert judges on the subject, as well as by representatives of the target audience. This is a cross-sectional study, descriptive quantitative. The booklet was organized based on manuals and public health policies, in addition to scientific articles published in virtual libraries. The content was analyzed by health professionals through a questionnaire applied in person or via an electronic form. The evaluators were divided into two groups: the first one containing 10 doctor (geriatricians, oncologists, family doctor and clinicians) and a second group containing 12 medical students regularly enrolled at CESUPA. The method used was the Likert Scale. The technical jury and the target audience evaluated the topics “objective, contents, relevance, illustration, language, layout and design”. According to the Likert scale score, demonstrating that the higher the marking of the criterion “I totally agree” more approved will be the material, the booklet “Palliative Care: Shall we learn about it?” Had its validation confirmed, since the technical jury showed acceptance of 75% and the target audience 92%, creating an overall approval rating of 84%. The booklet obtained a good rate of approval by the experts, demonstrating the relevance of the theme and its insertion un the graduation. As for the target audience, it proved to be a useful tool, agile reading capable of providing relevant information about the topic and instigate the active search for new knowledge.
Conhecimento acerca dos cuidados paliativos em internos do curso de medicina de uma instituição privada de ensino em Belém/PA
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2023-05-29) Anijar, Victória Haya; Azevedo, Yuri de Sousa; Albuquerque, Mário Roberto Tavares Cardoso de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3233617656287982; Souza, Ivete Moura Seabra de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5318491010793081; Vinagre, Nádia Carolina de Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9449802655052094
Brazil is experiencing a demographic transition, with changes in dietary and behavioral patterns, increasing the incidence of non-communicable chronic diseases. In view of this, there is a breakdown of the family group as the disease progresses and even the patient's death. In this context, curative medicine emerges, with Palliative Care, which aims to alleviate the suffering of the patient and the family, through physical, psychological, social and spiritual health care, easing the death process. To analyze knowledge about palliative care in students of the 11th and 12th semester of the Medicine course at the Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará (CESUPA) in the year 2022. A cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study was carried out based on the application of a virtual evaluated to the academics in question. 89 students were analyzed, 70.78% female and 29.21% male, with most students being 20-25 years old (70.78%) and only 4.49% taking a course extracurricular on the subject. A large part of the students had knowledge about the subject, either in relation to the concepts that support palliative care (77.3%), or about the therapy used (85.69%), as well as who this care is intended for (79, 02%). Although most students have knowledge about the subject, it is noted that it is necessary to implement the subject in the course curriculum, as well as to offer extracurricular courses on the subject, due to the local and global importance in which it is inserted.
Desenvolvimento de modelo anatômico tridimensional de sistema ventricular encefálico pelo método de manufatura aditiva por impressão 3D
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2019) Monteiro, Bruno Moraes; Sousa Junior, Jefferson Luiz Sacramento de; Oliveira, Wellington Pinheiro de; Teixeira, Cláudio Eduardo Corrêa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7448998858430931; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4902455106917702
The study of human anatomy is common to practically every medical school. Currently, this discipline has undergone reformulations in order to make this content more profitable, raising students' interest better. The impression by means of additive manufacture of anatomical pieces in 3D has been shown a possibility for this reality. In addition to being a novelty in the medical academic environment, 3D printing modeling opens up a range of opportunities in the production of new models, including pathological ones, for a greater technical and didactic collection in human anatomy classes, guaranteeing a low cost. This research aimed to create anatomical parts by means of additive manufacture by 3D printing of the brain ventricle system. The pieces were selected and worked on public domain software, produced by the 3D printer by the authors themselves, translated into a format in which it is possible to use them in human anatomy classes. Four anatomical pieces were printed in 3D of the brain ventricle system, one of them being the anatomical encephalic ventricles, a second one simulating these structures affected by microcephaly, a third similar, but demonstrating the involvement by hydrocephalus and, finally, a fourth piece, all disassembled anatomical ventricles for better demonstration of the creation of the pieces. At the end of this research, it was possible to make pieces using a 3D printer with a high degree of resemblance to the real models, respecting the anatomical and pathological size scales and anatomical and pathological domains evidenced in computed tomography and magnetic resonance, for hydrocephalus and microcephaly pathologies and their configuration anatomical pattern.
Percepção do estudante de medicina acerca do apoio familiar durante a graduação
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2021) Santiago, Gabriel Rodrigues; Coelho, Isabela Freitas; Del Nero, Luciana Brandão Carreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5056614008350803
Introduction: Learning is the result of various stimuli and intrinsic and extrinsic variables, leading to development in both interpersonal and academic environments. In the academic one, family support on choices and paths to be taken by students is a major determinant for their mental health, especially during the current global trend of increased information flows and unachievable charges. Therefore, it is expected that satisfactory parental bonds will positively influence the academic population, their selfesteem, and their biopsychosocial well-being. Objectives: To describe the perception of medical students about their family support during graduation. Methods: Crosssectional, observational, descriptive study using quantitative data. Results: The majority of sample were female students (61.6%), with age raging between 18-20 years (70%), mostly attending the first year of the course. Data suggest present and active family nuclei in the students' daily life, corresponding to low levels of parental rejection in students with low self-esteem (63.3% scored low self-esteem and low paternal rejection while 61.7% scored low self-esteem and low maternal rejection). Most of the students rated their self-esteem as low (61.6%). Conclusions: Although data showed most of families as present and active during graduation, low levels of self-esteem suggest that other variants may compromise the mental health of the researched students, who mostly scored the perception of family support during graduation as satisfactory.
Perfil do uso de substâncias psicoativas por estudantes de medicina de uma instituição da região norte do Brasil
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2023-05-31) Lobato, Jéssica Cordovil Portugal; Lobato, Raíssa Maria Chaves; Furlaneto, Ismari Perini; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9542085122721945; Almeida, Cristiane Martinez de; Rodrigues, André Luiz de Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9433646288769382
Psychoactive substances are drugs that increase alertness, cognition and concentration. It is known that the consumption of these substances in order to enhance academic performance is already a reality among medical students. The general objective of the present study was to describe the profile of the use of psychoactive substances by medical students at a higher education institution in the North Region. Cross-sectional, observational, descriptive and analytical study that included students regularly enrolled between the 1st and 12th period of the medical course at a higher education institution in the North Region in the year 2022, aged 18 years or over, regardless of gender, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected through an electronic form, using the ASSIST 3.1 instrument and a questionnaire to collect data on the academic and epidemiological profile of the participants. 215 students participated in the research, with a mean age of 22.7 years ± 4.0 years, 65.4% female (p<0.0001). The participants were homogeneously distributed between the initial years (1st and 2nd years: 31.3%), intermediate (3rd and 4th years: 28.4%) and final years of the course (5th and 6th years: 40.3%) (p =0.0929). Among the substances most consumed by students, alcoholic beverages (77.7%) stood out, respectively, followed by hypnotics/sedatives (32.2%), tobacco and derivatives (22.4%) and marijuana (21.8%). Students have, to a greater or lesser extent, moderate risk (suggestive of abuse) – ranging from 0.4% (cocaine/crack) to 21.0% (hypnotics/sedatives) – or high risk (suggestive of dependence), which ranged from 0.4% (opioids; tobacco and derivatives; amphetamines/ecstasy) to 1.9% (alcoholic beverages). The main motivational factors alleged for consumption were the need to reduce anxiety (36.6%) and stress (22.7%), in addition to improved well-being (18%) and increased concentration (14. 5%), among others. As for the benefits perceived with the use of stimulants, 30.8% perceived na improvement in general well-being after consumption, however, 31.4% did not identify benefits. As for adverse effects, 43.6% of participants reported not having manifested physical/psychological changes. The results obtained reflect the problem of excessive consumption of psychoactive substances, licit or not, by medical students. It is true that the need to manage the routine stimulates the search for alternatives that can alleviate this scenario. Such search finds in stimulants an alternative of momentary resolution, however dangerous, capable of generating reflexes in the formation of these future professionals.
Reconhecimento de aspectos de genética médica na interpretação de casos clínicos: estudo comparativo entre docentes e discentes do curso de medicina do CESUPA
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2020) Cardoso, Eduardo Felipe dos Santos; Morhy, Samuel Negrão Rodrigues; El Husny, Antonette Souto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9324926030334345
The thought that the practice of medical genetics is an isolated action of the other specialties, that the geneticist is a professional away from the clinic and dedicated to laboratories is frequent. This is a mistaken idea, so many professionals still feel unable to provide diagnoses and/or conduct cases of genetic etiology in their clinical practice. Thus, we observe the need of this area in the formation of Primary Health Care, as well as its inclusion in the formation of future general practitioners. Objective: To describe the recognition of aspects of medical genetics in clinical practice among teachers and students of the Cesupa Medical Course. Methods: An observational, descriptive, comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the University Center of the State of Pará (CESUPA) from October 2019 to March 2020. A total of 135 questionnaires of students and 39 teachers were evaluated. Results: The overall result of the correct questions presented a statistical difference, indicating a better performance for teachers 64.1% when compared to the semesters of the basic and clinical cycle and with the last semester of the course. Regarding the individualized results, 4 of the 14 questions applied presented statistically significant differences between the groups. The majority of teachers 84.6% were able to consider all clinical manifestations presented in the clinical case as coming from a single systemic disease and among the students this value was 90.4%. For 77.8% of the students family history is important for the diagnostic hypothesis, exceeding the 56.4% found for teachers. Among those who included medical genetics among the specialties to refer the case are 94.9% of the teachers and 29.6% of the students. Conclusion: The recognition of aspects of medical genetics in the clinical practice of students and teachers exists, but there is room for improvement. The expansion of the practical theoretical approach of Medical Genetics - in undergraduate studies - can have a positive impact on Medical Education and future professional practice, since, nowadays, all areas of Medicine are moving towards molecular and genetic aspects.
Saúde mental: uma narrativa sobre as realidades vivenciadas
(Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, 2020) Nunes, Cícera Romana de Luna; Souza, Ivete Moura Seabra de; Rodrigues, Cybelle Cristina Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9540610661271303; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5318491010793081
Introduction: During graduation, the medical student is placed in direct contact with Mental Health from an early age. The context in which the student is inserted can interfere positively or not with the way he will deal with patients with mental disorders. It is worth mentioning that the student's mental health is influenced by these factors, hence the importance of working from an early age to prepare the medical student for such situations. The clinical management of patients with mental suffering is acquired over time, with the experiences lived. Objective: To narrate the experiences with Mental Health in various moments of the personal and academic journey. Method: Development in Portfolio format with a descriptive, critical and reflective narrative about the problem of mental suffering. Regarding ethical aspects, the present narrative did not carry out any interviews with anyone, so it was not necessary to submit to the Ethics and Research Council. Development: Often diagnoses that could be made go unnoticed by the student's unprepared eyes. In this paper I report personal and academic life experiences that had an impact on the way I face situations that are imposed on me. The portfolio was divided into 6 parts, each interconnected. Narrating experiences with situations that complement Mental Health care in people in different life cycles. Each care of patients with mental disorders portrayed here made me start to look differently for each one I attend. Final Considerations: I was able to conclude how necessary it is for each student of the course to go through similar experiences throughout their academic life, however that they have a previous and continuous preparation for such experiences to have positive effects on professional trainin.
