ABSTRACT
Background: Colombia has been influenced by foreign models of medical education, which have been tried to contextualize to respond to local needs, but the lack of research and own data on successful learning strategies is evident.Objective: to interpret what it meant for the students to participate in a Social Security course at a Faculty of Medicine of the University of Antioquia, in Colombia.
Methods: a hermeneutic study was carried out that applied the founded theory. Theoretical methods were used for the foundation of the research and empirical methods, the documentary review through the interpretation of written essays carried out by the students. A total of 150 essays were read and 95 were selected. With open coding, 1532 codes were obtained, which were grouped into 19 descriptive categories where 158 properties with their dimensions were identified. Subsequently, an analytical category was built with the paradigmatic matrix.
Results: the students expressed the need to take a break during their academic training to accept the invitation to think about themselves, reflect on their role in the Colombian health system, adopt critical position in the face of reality and build a social conscience that would allow them to be part of the solution.
Conclusions: the opinion of the students was identified when participating in the Social Security course at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Antioquia. Spaces for reflection can and should have a place in medical education, since they help students develop cognitive abilities to adapt to a world that is constantly being built.
