(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-03) REBELLO, Pedro Albuquerque; CORRÊA, Thiago Damasceno; FERNANDES, Igor Beltrão Duarte; CALDAS, Cezar Augusto Muniz
Musculoskeletal disorders have been identified as the main cause of chronic pain and incapacity all over the world. Medical students require contact with the most commonly observed diseases in daily clinical practice in order to minimize the difficulties they might face when handling these conditions as new professionals. The aim was to determine the prevalence of rheumatic diseases among patients seen at the Rheumatology Clinic of the Pará State University Center (CESUPA). A retrospective study was performed through analysis of the medical records of patients seen between October 2013 and April 2014. The data for 255 patients were included, 223 (87.5%) of whom were female, and aged 47.69 ± 15.99 years. Of the 344 diseases diagnosed, the most prevalent was osteoarthritis (23.54%), followed by rheumatoid arthritis (20.05%), collagen disease (17.44%) and soft-tissue rheumatism (15.69%). It is concluded that the profile of diseases with which graduates have had most contact is partially compatible with the profile of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. However, there is concern regarding the low frequency of conditions such as gout, cervicalgia and low back pain, meaning the institution must optimize opportunities of contact with such patients.

(2013-12) CALDAS, Cezar Augusto Muniz; PAZ, Otávio Augusto Gomes da; NEGRÃO, José Nazareno Cunha; CALDATO, Milena Coelho Fernandes
OBJECTIVE: To present the experience of a Brazilian institution in the learning of Rheumatology at medical school and whose teaching project is structured into active learning methodologies. METHODS: Derived from a descriptive study with a qualitative approach to content related to Rheumatology in the medicine course of CESUPA. RESULTS: The musculoskeletal system is discussed in the second and seventh terms as part of the modules related to the locomotor system and Internal Medicine II, respectively, and each stage and activity has specific minimum objectives. In addition to the theoretical content, in the seventh term the students conduct Rheumatology ambulatory care where the focus is on preparing proper anamnesis and physical examination. During internship the students resume Rheumatology ambulatory care and at this point their diagnostic, investigative and therapeutic skills are the most required. CONCLUSION: There still is much to evolve in terms of finding an ideal model for teaching Rheumatology. However, by complying with the principal recommendations available for good medicine school teaching practices, we are able to offer future doctors the knowledge, skills and experiences that will potentially support them when treating rheumatology patients.
