Tradition and innovation, pillars that serve as support and guide for Bahiana also permeate their academic activities, as was the case with the 2024.1 edition of the Gymkhana da Bahiana – Ginbah, held last Saturday, June 8, at Campus Cabula, in its 6th edition. The initiative aims to promote the teaching of Human Morphology and First Aid through playful and dynamic activities, with participants being teams made up of students from the 1st semester of the Medicine course and academic monitors from the other semesters.

The activity, which traditionally takes place once a semester, was innovated in this 6th edition with a change in its schedule. “We try, every semester, to innovate. So, observing and listening to the students, we realized that the competition was very well structured, but there was a request for it to end early. So, we started activities at 7:30 am and reorganized the tests and removed some.

We also finished the gymkhana with the Atlética drums playing together with young people from the Bagunçaço project, an institution to benefit from our solidarity campaign”, explained the co-coordinator of the Intercourse Morphofunctional Sciences Group (GCMI), professor Rafael Lélis. Ginbah also has as coordinators the GCMI co-coordinator, professor Suzana Araújo, the People Development coordinator and member of the event's organizing committee, Luiza Ribeiro, and professor André Zimmermann, who is also coordinator of the First Aid Curricular Component.

“I'm very happy to participate in Ginbah once again as a monitor, because I already did gymkhana in high school and coming here and seeing this is really beautiful! Because I thought university was just hard work and seeing all this here is wonderful, because you can review... And even we, as monitors, learn too”, declared Bruno Fróis, 2nd semester Medicine student.

This year, the order of winners was:
1. Bilirubin (yellow color);
2. Hemassa (red color);
3. Canabiloucos (green color);
4. Tadalafilhos (blue color).
