The activities of the Graduate Program of the Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública began with a special inaugural class, which took place on the morning of February 23, at the Cabula Academic Unit Convention Center.
The opening ceremony included a performance by the Canta choir Bahiana and with the presence of the coordinator of the Masters and Doctorate in Medicine and Human Health, Prof. Dr. Ana Marice Teixeira Ladeia, professors Luis Cláudio Correia, Bernardo Galvão Castro Filho and Armênio Costa Guimarães. Also present was the coordinator of the Master's Program in Health Technologies, Dr. Marcos Antônio Almeida Matos.
Agenda
On the occasion, the new masters and doctoral students, in addition to professors and researchers from the institution, were able to attend the lectures "Jozé Correia Picanço: an innovative professor, a caretaker of Medicine", given by professor Almira Maria Vinhaes Dantas, and "Jozé Correa Picanço – the man and his idea”.
The second speech was given by guest professor João Lima, director of the cardiovascular imaging department at the Johns Hopkins Hospital (USA), who presented the research paper "Artificial Intelligence: The Multi-Ethnic Study in Arteriosclerosis".
For Almira Maria Vinhaes Dantas, the importance of studying the past is being able to learn from what has already been done so that better results can be achieved in the present. "When I was a medical student, I was encouraged to develop scientific thinking, and history is what will help us with that. It is by observing the successes and failures of the past that we can promote scientific evolution," he declared.
In turn, Prof. João Lima pointed out the relevance of researchers keeping an open mind for the introduction of new technologies in health. "We must not feel threatened by change. Technology can and must be introduced in an ethical, careful and responsible manner. We must be open to new technologies so that they add and not compete with our capabilities."
For the professor of the Psychology course and the Master's in Health Technologies, Marilda Castellar, the choices made by the two guests promoted a broad debate, which united the past, present and future of health research. "It's very important to study this past to understand the present. This process helps us process the future and we can see and understand this process here today."
Professor Luis Cláudio Correia, co-organizer of the event along with Ana Marice Teixeira Ladeia, says that the Graduate Program at Bahiana it must always be innovating and points to the academic space as a real storehouse of knowledge production. “We believe that postgraduate education is pioneering knowledge, it is where more knowledge is created. So, we have to always be reinventing ourselves from one year to the next, and an event like this is a reinvention.”
In addition to changes promoted within the curricular components themselves, he emphasizes that the arrival of new academics is, in itself, an innovation. “One thing that is different from one year to the next is the new graduate students. They each come with their own history, they come from different generations, one younger and one older. These people bring knowledge. So, in graduate school, there is no longer that teacher-student relationship, there is a construction of knowledge that takes place together. ”
The opening lectures were followed by round tables and debates that exposed points such as "The scientific question", "The scientific answer" and "How to assess the feasibility of a scientific project?".
