8th semester medical students welcome family and friends to present their final projects

Students in the 8th semester of the Medicine course at Bahiana had the opportunity to share with family and friends part of the effort of their academic trajectory, when they made public presentations of their Final Course Works (TCC), on the morning of last Saturday (30/11). In total, 55 presentations of works were made that occupied several classrooms on the Campus Brotas. The coordinator of the Medicine course, Dr. Humberto Castro Lima Filho, emphasizes that this initiative to encourage public presentation is natural for the institution that values ​​scientific production. “This is a moment in which we celebrate this union between the student and the institution, since this production was done together with their supervising professors and professors of scientific research methodology. It is their production, but we also recognize it as a production of Bahiana”, highlights the coordinator.

On the occasion, Professor Juarez Pereira Dias gave a presentation highlighting some TCCs that have already stood out in scientific events throughout the country. The coordinator of the 7th and 8th semesters, Professor Luiz Queiroz, explains that the monographs are previously evaluated and the necessary corrections are made amicably, providing a smooth public presentation. “It is a celebration of the importance of science and critical thinking in the decision-making process of a physician. This is a time when students will develop other skills, such as how to present a scientific paper in public and the correct format for the presentation. All of this is welcomed so that they feel empowered. The idea is that their emotional memory of this process will be a good one,” Queiroz points out.

Academic Luana Moreira experienced moments of great emotion, being recognized as a producer of excellent work. “For me, presenting my work here today is closing the cycle with a flourish. It is the realization of a project that required a lot of work and study because it is very specific. But it is with great satisfaction that I present it today and I am happy to see how congratulated it was”, declares the student. For her TCC advisor, Dr. Clarissa Mathias, Luana is a source of pride. “It was an honor to be here at Luana’s presentation, who is a student who makes a difference through her commitment, care, diligence and intelligence. At a time when Medicine is being so distorted, it is good to know that we have future doctors like Luana, committed”, said Mathias. No less emotional, Márcia Maria de Souza e Silva, Luana’s mother, celebrated the special moment: “It is great to be able to witness this closing of Luana’s academic history, who has always been very dedicated. I am sure that she will take this knowledge and use it for the next years of her internship. And our hope, as we are working together with the institution, is to place an excellent professional to work with this population that is in great need of care,” said Márcia.
