Introdução e objetivos: Desde o surgimento do “Relatório Flexner” no início do século 20, o currículo médico tem passado por mudanças com objetivo de melhorar a qualidade da Educação Médica. Em todo o mundo, as escolas médicas empregam várias estratégias para melhorar a entrega do currículo, como a implementação e/ou integração de currículos com base na teoria e prática fundamentais. Neste contexto, ao longo do tempo a Imunologia Clínica que tem-se constituído como uma disciplina científica de maior relevância médica, contribuindo para o diagnóstico clínico, laboratorial, tratamento e prevenção de doenças. No entanto, nem todas as Escolas Médicas incluem a Imunologia Clínica como unidade curricular de forma isolada como é o caso da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade 11 de Novembro -Cabinda, mas que os conteúdos são integrados em outas unidades curriculares. Assim sendo, com base na melhoria da qualidade de educação médica, surgiu a necessidade de formalizar uma proposta de implementação da unidade curricular “Imunologia Clínica” na formação em Medicina para esta faculdade.
Métodos: O trabalho resulta de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os aspetos gerais e de relevância da Imunologia Clínica no ensino pré-graduado de Medicina. Foram analisados os currículos de algumas Escolas Médicas em que o ensino formal da Imunologia faz parte do currículo do curso, ao nível da pré-graduação. As informações foram obtidas a partir de livros ligados à área da Imunologia Clínica, artigos científicos, utilizando ferramentas de busca como a Pubmed, Scielo e Google Académico. Também foram utilizados questionários “on line” para a avaliação da perceção dos estudantes do ciclo clínico de Medicina da Universidade 11 de Novembro sobre a importância da Imunologia na formação médica, bem como também avaliar o grau de conhecimento dos estudantes do 6° de medicina sobre os conceitos de Imunologia Básica e Clínica que estes adquiriram durante a sua formação médica. A um total de 278 estudantes inscritos no ciclo clínico da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade 11 de Novembro, no ano académico 2018 foi solicitada a resposta aos questionários. A análise dos dados foi feita com base no “Google Forms ®” e no software Microsoft Excel®.
Resultados: Da amostra dos 278 estudantes do Ciclo Clínico matriculados na Faculdade de Medicina de Cabinda no ano académico 2018, 159 responderam ao questionário, o que representa uma taxa considerável de adesão ao estudo (57%). Relativamente à perceção dos estudantes sobre a importância da Imunologia Clínica na formação em Medicina, verificou-se que 92,5% dos estudantes consideram importante a Imunologia Clínica no currículo Médico, e 71,7% consideram necessário aumentar os conteúdos em Imunologia no currículo, visto que os conhecimentos adquiridos em outras unidades curriculares têm sido úteis durante as suas rotações clínicas. Quanto ao questionário sobre a avaliação do conhecimento teórico em Imunologia Básica e Clínica, verificou-se que mais do que a metade dos estudantes, responderam erradamente as questões, sendo a média de pontuação 9,5/20 pontos. Conclusões: Após a realização do estudo, concluiu-se que há necessidades de implementar a unidade curricular de forma isolada no currículo médico na Faculdade de Medicina de Cabinda, dada a sua importância na prática médica, garantindo assim maior qualidade de ensino.
Introduction and objectives: Since the "Flexner Report" in the early 20th century, the medical curriculum has undergone changes to improve the quality of Medical Education. Across the world, medical schools employ various strategies to improve curriculum delivery, such as curriculum implementation and / or integration based on fundamental theory and practice. In this context, over time Clinical Immunology has become a scientific discipline of greater medical relevance, contributing to the clinical diagnosis, laboratory, treatment and prevention of diseases. However, not all Medical Schools include Clinical Immunology as a curricular unit in isolation, as is the case of the Faculty of Medicine of the 11 de Novembro University -Cabinda, but nevertheless the contents are integrated into other curricular units. Therefore, based on the improvement of the quality of medical education, there is the need to formalize a proposal for the implementation of the curricular unit "Clinical Immunology" in the medical training for this faculty. Methods: The work results from a bibliographical review on the general aspects and relevance of Clinical Immunology in the pre-graduate teaching of Medicine. We analyzed the curricula of some Medical Schools in which the formal education of Immunology is part of the curriculum of the course, at the pre-graduation level. The information was obtained from books related to the area of Clinical Immunology, scientific articles, using search tools such as Pubmed, Scielo and Google Scholar. Also, on-line questionnaires were used to evaluate students' perception of the medical cycle of the 11 de Novembro University on the importance of Immunology in medical education, as well as to evaluate the degree of knowledge of students of the 6th year the concepts of Basic and Clinical Immunology that they acquired during their medical training. A total of 278 students belonging to the clinical cycle of the Faculty of Medicine of the University 11 de Novembro, in the academic year 2018were enrolled in this study. Data analysis was based on "Google Forms ®" and Microsoft Excel® software. Results: Of the 278 students enrolled in the Clinical Cycle enrolled at the Cabinda Medical School in the academic year 2018, 159 answered the questionnaire, which represents a considerable rate of adherence to the study (57%). Regarding the students' perception about the importance of Clinical Immunology in medical education, it was verified that 92.5% of students consider Clinical Immunology important in the Medical curriculum, and 71.7% consider it necessary to increase the contents in Immunology in the curriculum, since the knowledge acquired in other curricular units has been useful during their clinical rotations. As for the questionnaire on the evaluation of theoretical knowledge in Basic and Clinical Immunology, it was verified that more than half of the students answered the questions wrongly, with a mean score of 9.5 / 20 points. Conclusions: After completing the study, it was concluded that there is a need to implement the curricular unit “Clinical Immunology” in the medical curriculum at the Cabinda Medical School, given its importance in medical practice, thus guaranteeing a higher quality of teaching.
