According to the coordinator of the group and professor of the Medicine course, Dr. Eliana de Paula, what “came a lot of attention was the 'Roda dos Expostos', a wooden device that was on one of the walls of the Santa Casa to receive the children found by the society".

The Medicine, Physiotherapy and Nursing students present were challenged by the Museum's coordinator, Mrs. Jane Palma, to carry out research projects in the field of hospital pharmacy, historical aspects of medicine and others.

During the tour, the group got to know the area where the patients' wards and the pharmacy of the then called Hospital de Caridade, the first hospital in the state, operated. In addition to Professor Dr. Eliana de Paula, Professor Míriam Marambaia also accompanied the group.
