Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN Speciality : Medicine And Surgery
programme: Medicine

UFRN has been my home institution for the past seven years. It allowed me not only a full and dynamic experience of being a medical student, but also improved my presentation skills by supporting my attendance at conferences, supported my involvement with non-governamental organizations which enhanced my leadership skills, and promoted my growth by offering diverse learning environments scaffolded by experienced teachers and preceptors. Although we might have had minor structural problems related to governmental investment, none of them were capable of disturbing my learning curve, since teachers were able to supply us with enriching learning experiences either through lecture-based encounters or bedside clinical sessions. With a well-structured and referenced university hospitals were most of our learning takes place, UFRN has been facing a transition phase whereby teachers are improving their methods and using innovative resources, and medical education has been gaining a wide focus.
